2023 Rivers-Marie Vidovich Lane Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon | St. Helena 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

Ripe black fruits, darker chocolate, sappy herbs, sage, and tobacco notes define the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Vidovich Lane Vineyard, another killer 2023 that's medium to full-bodied, has ripe, polished tannins, and just about flawless balance. | 95-97 Jeb Dunnuck for jebdunnuck.com
