2005 Rivers-Marie Pinot Noir Occidental Ridge Sonoma Coast - USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast (10/23/2009)
OMFG good! The nose that keeps on giving. Intoxicating, rich, plush, delicate and long. Incredible.

Well, did you drink it or just smell it all night?

It’s a really rare bottle. Maybe all you get is a sniff.

I’ve got a few of these stashed away. So far, I’ve found RM’s to be greatly enhanced by a few years on them.

Sounds like time to crack one.

A brief TN. The second sentence covered the palate. This really was a super wine in prime time right now with lovely secondary flavors. I suspect it will continue to develop additional flavors as it matures.

Absolutely love this wine, I haven’t opened one in about 6 months, maybe I’m due for another soon.
