2013 Rivers-Marie Calistoga Cabernet
Sauvignon –150 cases, 14.3% alcohol,
67% new oak
Though 2012 and 2013 aren't that far
apart in quality, we feel this is a big
step up from its previous edition. Part
of it is having an additional year of
experience with the vineyard and part of
it is just how well this site performed
in this vintage. This is our one wine
with a potential perfect Parker score
hanging in the balance and I can see why
now tasting it two months removed from
bottling. It's the most exotic of the
lineup with a very lifted aromatic and
an ethereal feel to the palate that has
both a firm density and a lightness from
the super fine grained tannin. This is
like a more accessible version of Corona
with a nice blend of fruit and savory
but a lot more generosity owing to its
location. The aromatic is almost more
Bordeaux like with an emphasis on walnut
skins, creosote and graphite but the
fruit profile is very Californian with a
black-fruited profile that comes as much
from the vintage as the site.

”The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Calistoga, which comes from the so-called Olmo clone (the same as the Eiesle clone), exhibits an opaque purple color, sweet créme de cassis and blackberry fruit as well as licorice, wet pebbles giving it minerality, and a long, full-bodied, opulent texture. This stunning wine comes from a single block of the Larkmead Vineyard. Drink it over the next 20-25 years.
This is the home project of Thomas Rivers Brown and Genevieve Marie Welsh, who started this boutique operation in 2002. In the last few years, they’ve expanded to include Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. I tasted four Pinot Noirs from Rivers-Marie, all of them different and singular. I also had a look at two vintages of the four Cabernet Sauvignons that are made by Rivers-Marie. The 2013s are in bottle and are absolutely spectacular wines. The 2014s look strong, with up-front fruit, but exceptional density, purity and richness.”
