From Napa Wine Project: The winery is owned and operated by husband and wife, winemaker Thomas Brown and Genevieve Welsh. The name comes from combining both of their middle names, Rivers from Thomas and Marie from Genevieve. For years, the wines were primarily sold through their allocation list with very limited domestic distribution. However, in late August Rivers-Marie opened a highly visible winery and tasting room on Highway 128 just south of Calistoga (they share the same driveway as their next door winery neighbor – also with a rare hyphenated name, T-Vine Cellars).

Showing dark ruby. Ton of structure. Overpowered by tannin on first open. Will revisit rating in a few hours.

Beautiful purity of fruit here. Certainly can tell it’s Pinot from a warmer climate but doesn’t feel heavy or cloying.
