Rivers-Marie Bodega Thieriot Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast, USA 2024
Bodega Thieriot Vineyard Pinot Noir is one of the most compelling and complete wines in the Rivers-Marie lineup, showcasing the remarkable maturity now emerging from this coveted Freestone Ridge site. Planted entirely to Calera clone on a windswept hillside near some of the Sonoma Coast’s most iconic Pinot Noir vineyards, the 2024 captures both power and precision in striking balance. Aromas of black raspberry, rosehip, incense, wood smoke, wet earth, and crushed mineral rise from the glass with layered complexity. The palate opens with vibrant, crunchy red fruit before expanding into a richly textured core of raspberry, spice, black tea, and savory earth, all framed by persistent acidity and beautifully integrated tannins. Despite its depth and concentration, the wine remains lifted and mouthwatering, finishing long with exceptional freshness and mineral tension. Dark, brooding, and profoundly expressive, this is a serious Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir with immediate intrigue and outstanding cellar potential.

"The 2024 Pinot Noir Bodega Thieriot Vineyard is one of the very finest wines I have tasted off this site, which was planted in 2018 in one of the most pedigreed districts on the West Sonoma Coast. Broad, sweeping and dramatic, the 2024 soars out of the glass. Dark red-toned fruit, graphite, white pepper, blood orange, mint and rose petal are all vividly sketched. Bodega Thieriot was planted with Calera cuttings from Platt. It's a stunning wine in every way." Vinous 97 |
