Followed over two days. Juicy, ripe and balanced. Astounding value at $30. Haven’t found the signature TRB blood orange profile in these RM SCs, but that’s a small nitpick. Loads of red and black berry fruit upfront, boysenberry, red currant and dark florals. Mid palate was much better on day two as it bulked up and showed the nervy side of SC Pinot. It has a high toned/elegant profile while retaining weight. Stylistically it sits in between RRV and cool climate SC. Banging value, as always. Drink now or in the next 3-5yrs.
Last bottle of my 2018 SC.

Needs time. Couldn’t resist. Killed way too early but very good. Well made with lots of alcohol and fruit today but in two or three years it should be $$$$$$$

Fresh and lively. Enters with dense fruit that is well framed by acidity and carries through to the pure red fruited finish. With air time the spice flavors develop and there is a little bit of a fresh asphalt note that is delicious.

When you’re moving to Napa Valley from Louisiana and you find that place with Shrimp Etouffee and Rivers-Marie Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir on the list... And my first taste of their 2016 vintage... once again it stuns.
