NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Typically, it's the Sonoma Coast bottlings at the extreme end that require more time to evolve.However, in this case, the Anderson Valley wine from the deep end displays ample fruit tannin and natural acidity. The alcohol content likely contributes to this, as there's an absence of glycerol sweetness to offset the rawness of the wine in its early stage. The lower level of ripeness results in a wine with a light to medium color, and its aromatic profile is centered on vibrant red fruits, along with floral hints of freesia and rose petals.
On the palate, the traditional wildness characteristic of Anderson Valley emerges with nuances of chalk, mint, roasted herbs, and loamy earth. Despite its restrained nature, the wine possesses a mouthwatering quality that not only makes it enjoyable with food presently but also hints at a promising and lengthy future.

ORIGINS
Winery: Rivers-Marie
Region: North Coast California
The North Coast of California boasts some of the most renowned vineyards and wineries in the world. Located in the northern part of the state, the North Coast is home to the Napa Valley, Sonoma County, and Mendocino County, all of which are recognised for their exceptional wines.
The North Coast of California has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The region was first planted with vines by Spanish missionaries, who planted Mission grapes in the area. In the late 1800s, Italian immigrants began to settle in the region, bringing with them their own grape varieties and winemaking techniques. By the early 1900s, the North Coast had become a major wine-producing region, with many of the wineries still in operation today.CUSTOMER RATING
