Holy shit this is good! Ink purple, amazing nose, beautifully structured, medium bodied, layered black fruit, and a beautiful finish. Extremely thankful this isn’t my only bottle. — 5 years ago
☄️ Yes please. The missus says "Makes me want to eat and drink all night", I say floral, velvety and perfectly balanced. Either way, 👌. — 7 years ago

Love everything from Rivers-Marie. Distinctive style emphasizing purity of fruit and elegance. Fruit is from parcels on the edge of the Bearwallow vineyard. Brambly red and purple fruit with notes of white flower, white pepper, and a touch of eucalyptus. Complex and elegant. Suggest cellaring for 5 -7 years to get the full experience. 2018 vintage on Mar 26, 2020 — 4 years ago

I'm not sure of the make-up but I get a Bordeaux profile from this so I don't think it's pure cab. Very floral with hints of cedar on the nose. Dense dark fruit, licorice, tobacco. To my palate this wine has the closest flavor profile to TRBs own Rivers-Marie cabs. This was decanted 2 hours and probably could have benefitted from more. I'd say hold or decant 3+ hours for optimum drinking ....but it is a rich, expressive wine right now. — 9 years ago

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. — 5 years ago
