The Only 100 Points US Pinot in 2018: Rivers-Marie Platt Vineyard, "In a word: epic!" AG
We have a rare and limited Pinot Noir to offer today in which is the only USA Pinot Noir who received a 100-Pointer from renowned critics Antonio Galloni in Vintage 2018. The Platt Vineyard Pinot Noir from Riber-Marie.
The winery is managed by husband and wife, Thomas Brown and Genevieve Welsh. Thomas is one of the most sought-after wine consultants in California and worked in several producers in Napa and Sonoma, Rivers-Marie was established in 2002 when Thomas produced a tiny amount of wines from the famous Summa Vineyard, which produced two 100-Point Pinot Noir from 1991. Afterwards, Rivers-Marie also produces a few single varietal wines from Occidental Ridge, Willow Creek, Silver Eagle. Sadly the productions are tiny with only a few hundred bottles of wines are produced each year, it is nearly impossible to access since most of the wines are distributed in an allocation system and there are over 4,000 people on the waiting list!
Please find critic notes as follows and do let us know if you would like a bottle or two
2018 Rivers-Marie Platt Vineyard Pinot Noir
HK$2,080 per bottle (12 bottles available, no listing in Wine-Searcher^)
100 Points Antonio Galloni
The 2018 Pinot Noir Platt Vineyard is the single greatest Pinot I have ever tasted from Rivers-Marie. Rich, deep and explosive in its beauty, the 2018 is an arresting, breathtaking wine that takes hold of all the senses and never lets up. Inky dark fruit, spice, licorice and lavender infuse the 2018 with tremendous textural richness, and yet there is no feeling of excess weight. A Pinot of dizzying intensity and richness, the Platt has so much to give and so much to offer. Readers who can find it should not hesitate, as it is truly magnificent. In a word: epic!
Subject to final confirmation. ETA 6-8 weeks
