2023 Rivers-Marie Herb Lamb Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon | Napa Valley California 750ml

Winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown has a history of high praise and huge scores with Napa Cabernet Sauvignon he has crafted for prestigious labels such as Schrader, Revana, Pulido-Walker, Maybach...and a stable of others. The wines for his own label Rivers-Marie are no exception. He selects fruit from the vineyard sites he sources with such a studious calculation that his winemaking efforts are focused on framing the raw material to simply show it in context. | Falling Bright

...shines for its elegance and complexity, with savory red and black fruits supported by loads of sweet tobacco, dried flowers, and loamy earth. It's medium to full-bodied, with a pure, layered mouthfeel, polished tannins, and a great finish. It's already impossible to resist, yet given its balance, length, and overall class, it's going to keep for two decades. There are a scant 120 cases of this, but it's an incredible wine in this great vintage... | 98 Jeb Dunnuck for jebdunnuck.com
