TN: 2006 Rivers-Marie Pinot Noir Willow Creek Vineyard

    Pop, pour and followed over two nights. I love the nose, deep, wet redwood forest. Rich and slightly too sweet dark red fruits that are almost balanced out by a bright beam of acidity. Soft, round texture which adds to the enjoyment. I’m going to hold my last bottle for several more years. If the fruit tones down a tad, I could see this being really interesting. (89 pts.)

    Bright and fruity upon opening, showing notes of raspberries and cherries. With air, the wine turns earthy and more subdued, with notes of sous bois, autumn leaves, and wet soil. Starting to feel a little tired, this wine, and I wonder if the vintage has something to do with it. Maybe it’s time to drink up. (88 pts.)
