  • 2006 Rivers-Marie Pinot Noir Occidental Ridge Vineyard - USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast (11/4/2010)
    Not as aromatic, soft, round and feminine as a recent Willow Creek, but more open and accessible than the tight and brooding Summa (I resisted any peak at the Summa OV). Zesty cranberry and pomegranate with pine needles, sous bois, and orange peel. Still quite big-boned and tightly wound, but not at all over-the-top. Great length. These are really superb 06 Pinots. (92 pts.)

great note sean, some of the best 06’s for sure. I have found that Willow Creek and Occidental are just about ready to go now while summa and summa ov need more time.
