Rivers Marie Cabernet Sauvignon Calistoga 2022

The Rivers Marie Cabernet Sauvignon Calistoga 2022 reflects the artistry of winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown, one of California’s most sought-after talents. This elegant, balanced wine showcases the unique character of its vineyard origins, capturing the essence of vintage 2022 with precision.

In the glass, the wine pours a darker, almost brooding hue, hinting at its depth and intensity. On the nose, it reveals aromatics of blackberries, cassis, and spice, wrapped in notes of incense, violets, and a touch of sandalwood. The palate delivers a generous wave of ripe fruit, with layers of black olive, walnut husks, and a subtle dusty undertone. The structure is well-defined, offering a toasty richness from the oak aging and a long, lingering finish that seems to fan out with every sip.

The grapes were carefully harvested, de-stemmed, and fermented using native yeasts in stainless steel. After undergoing malolactic fermentation in barrel, the wine was aged for 14 months in French oak barrels (67% new). This careful process allowed the wine to fully develop its signature depth and ripeness while maintaining freshness and balance.

Every vintage from this site carries a savory character, a testament to the unique soils and old vines of the vineyard on the south side of Larkmead Lane. This wine speaks of its roots while showcasing a successful balance of fruit, structure, and aromatics.

Critics have praised the Rivers Marie Cabernet Sauvignon Calistoga 2022 for its expressive aromatics, generous palate, and polished structure. The wine’s balance between ripe blackberries and subtle savory notes of walnut husks and spice creates a harmonious drinking experience. Its toasty finish and silky tannin profile promise graceful aging potential.
