I've found Rivers-Marie pinot noir to be a bit over-the-top for my tastes and this bottle has done nothing to change that. This is a massive wine that is still early in the drinking window. I'd recommend holding for at least another five years. It's a very well made wine, exceptional fruit with quite an assault (in a good way) on the palate. Complex finish with sous bois notes. It's really not a food wine... more of just a wow statement on its own.
Silver Eagle Vineyard is owned by the family of the late great Thomas Rivers Brown collaborator and farmer, Ulises Valdez..
