Rivers-Marie
Sonoma Coast Chardonnay
Wow, good development. Caramel notes. Yellow apple, a nutty oxidative streak, lots of good acid. Drink now.

Mar 17th, 2022Savory and pungent... apricot lemon butter hay peach white flower pear licorice slate... chardonnay. TRB strikes again. So much balance and so much power, the yin and yang here is great. The chardonnay revolution will not be televised.

Dec 20th, 2017Last of the 2015 😞. Nothing new to say about it, just that it's awesome as always. Will Segui, if you're reading this please convince TRB to introduce a tiered allocation system!

Oct 8th, 2017Higher acidity than previous vintages, fruit still plays a starring role as usual but the balance in '15 is impeccable. These will last for several years, I just never make it longer than a year without crushing all of them.

Jun 12th, 2017First Rivers-Marie experience and if this is the entry level chard I can't wait to pop open the B Theriot and Joy Road! Nothing over the top or outstanding about this, just a well-made chard.
