2013 Rivers-Marie "Occidental Ridge Vineyard" Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

The 2013 Pinot Noir Occidental Ridge Vineyard is one of the more delicate and refined wine in the range. Bright red stone fruits, mint and sweet spices all lift from the glass. Silky, sweet and exceptionally polished throughout, the Occidental Ridge hits all the right spots today. The 2013s here are at times a bit on the heavier side, but not the Occidental Ridge; which speaks to total elegance above all else. (Antonio Galloni)
