The darker side of Rivers Marie. Where all of the Occidental bottlings share red fruited characteristics this is more black fruits and fresh earth. The supporting acidity and the hours it still takes to open up give me hope that it should continue to develop in bottle. — 7 years ago

Medium cherry fruit, with restrained tannin and acid, but almost too balanced to the point of being unmemorable? May my pallet is off. — 10 years ago

Extremely powerful Cabernet. Thomas rivers brown has done wonderfully with this effort. Some from tench in oakville gives it a nice woody smokey palate with that great deep blackberry with a not too dark extraction. Very nice. — 11 years ago

I love this wine. Thomas Rivers Brown has made a wonderful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, cab franc and merlot. It retains its Howell Mountain character. A joy. — 10 years ago

Turns out, I like Chardonnays. I had it paired with scallops crudo. I perfect combination. It you think you don't like Chardonnays, try ones outside of the U.S. They are generally smoother and crisper than the American ones I've tried. This 2012 vintage of Nugan Chardonnay was delicious. It was fresh and a perfect beginning to a delicious meal. — 11 years ago
