Rivers-Marie Silver Eagle Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast, USA 2024
Silver Eagle Vineyard Pinot Noir is a richly layered Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir that beautifully captures the depth and polish of this coveted Occidental vineyard site. Aromas of blackberry, black raspberry, plum, and wild cherry are accented by notes of black tea, forest floor, sassafras, and subtle spice. The palate is plush and expansive, with concentrated dark fruit framed by fine tannins and a vibrant mineral backbone that brings freshness and structure. Seamless, complex, and beautifully balanced, this is a powerful yet refined Pinot Noir with immediate appeal and the depth to evolve gracefully in the cellar for years to come.
"The 2024 Pinot Noir Silver Eagle is quite the powerhouse. It offers up an exotic mix of dried cherry fruit, sage, tobacco, espresso and dried herbs, all accented by a touch of stems (15%). This is an especially potent and savory Pinot that needs to be opened well in advance of serving." Vinous 95
