Seems the Platt might be gone, as it wasn’t in my allocation when I went to pull the trigger today. Either way, I’m happy and looking forward to trying the 23’s when they land.

3 Sonoma Coast

4 Silver Eagle

1 Platt

1 Summa

1 Summa OV

1 Theriot

I was at the winery last month and my Daughter favored the silver eagle. Even though it was the 22 I figured I’d max out on that for her. And of course it is the silver so timing couldn’t be better. Fly fly

The Platt was not listed in my allocation when I ordered yesterday

David_Baum · January 15, 2025, 11:28pm

That had some of the smallest production and likely sold out quickly

How long can these age? What’s the sweet spot?

William_Segui · January 19, 2025, 1:58am

It’s subjective of course but the SVD’s hit their stride for my palate at 5 years.

brigcampbell · January 19, 2025, 2:12am

I never want to disagree with Will but…

Check the tasting notes in CT for older RM, they’re fantastic with 10 years.

I ended up piggybacking on friends for a 1 1/2 cases.

They’ll never last 10 years because I’ll drink them way before.

J_Rock · January 19, 2025, 3:17am

The few I’ve had with 10 - 15 years have been great. I don’t think you need to wait to drink these Pinots, as I’ve never found them unapproachable when young, but I prefer mature Pinot and think these age nicely from what I’ve seen.

Bill_Sweeney · January 19, 2025, 12:46pm

5 years from vintage or 5 years from release?

Thought I would post this here since it’s one of the wines from this release - I just popped the first of my purchase, a 2023 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. Wow - it was really excellent. A ton of energy and depth of flavor, but definitely on the red fruit side of the spectrum and not overdone in any way. Fine acid but not dominating, allowing the fruit and even some more exotic/spice flavors to show through. And all of this from a humble SC bottling. Very impressive.

Excited to see what is in the SV bottles as these develop. A single data point, but seems 2023 was very very good in Rivers-Marie Pinot town.
