Rivers-Marie, Occidental Ridge Vineyard Pinot Noir Vintage:2021 Extended patience will be necessaryA more savory and brambly personality emerges from the 2021 Pinot Noir Occidental Ridge Vineyard, with wild herbs, ripe cherry, and orange zest. Medium to Full bodied, with a seamless feel of fresh acidity, a soft texture, fine tannins, and a note of black raspberry, the freshness really lifts with ripeness off the palate, with a focused feel. Long on the palate, its drinking beautifully now and will drink well over the next 10 or so years.
