2011 Rivers-Marie Pinot Noir Silver Eagle Vineyard Sonoma Coast - 225 cases, 14.1% alcohol, 40% new oak
It's rarely the case that the best wine in a lineup also possesses the greatest volume. We feel like that's the case here with the Silver Eagle. Its location in the northeast part of Occidental allowed it to achieve full maturity before any rain hit. Each block was fermented separately but we knew very shortly into fermentation that it would all make the vineyard designate cut. The smell of the lots filled the crush pad each time we punched them down. It's higher toned than the '09 and '10 editions, more tuned to red and blue fruits than black. The blue fruits give the wine a coolness to the palate that suggests winter. The persistence of the wine is also noticeable. The wine holds plenty in reserve but it's such a pleasure to drink now that it's hard to resist. The whip crack of acidity in the mid-palate keeps the wine refreshing and lends ample length to the finish. This is the wine we initially dreamed of when we signed on to this site.

The 2011 Pinot Noir Silver Eagle Vineyard is the most complete of these Pinots. Dark cherries, plums, spices, menthol and licorice are woven together in this totally seamless, impeccable Pinot. Bright saline notes underpin the fruit beautifully. The 2011 captures the vibrancy and coolness style of the year, but with more fruit and better overall harmony than the other wines in the range. Layers of sweet, perfumed fruit wrap around the highly nuanced finish. Silver Eagle is farmed by Sonoma vineyard guru Ulises Valdez. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2021.
Rivers-Marie stands out for many reasons, not the least of which is the exceedingly fair prices set by owners Thomas Rivers Brown and Genevieve Marie Welsh. Like all of his colleagues, Brown struggled to achieve normal levels of ripeness in 2011. The crop set was poor, and there was no heat to speak of the entire year. The Pinots were harvested in October, exceedingly late by Pinot standards. Yields came in at a tiny. 75 to 1 ton per acre. As for the wines, they are quite pretty, if naturally a bit more slender than normal.
