Rivers-Marie Chardonnay Platt Vineyard Sonoma Coast 2017

Chardonnay | US

$74.95 - 750mL

Jeb Dunnuck flipped for this cool climate vineyard far out on the Sonoma Coast. "Rich, full-bodied, and concentrated on the palate, it has bright acidity, a big mid-palate, and a great finish. It’s another powerful yet still balanced and lively Chardonnay from Brown that’s well worth seeking out."

About The Producer

Thomas Rivers Brown and Genevieve Marie Welsh started Rivers Marie in 2002 making single variety wines made to reflect the vineyard & vintage from which they came. Focusing on Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Cabernet, the wines are normally sold through the mailing list only but we called in a favor with Thomas for just a few cases.

Reviews

Jeb Dunnuck
Honeycomb, ripe orchard fruit, a kiss of botrytis, and ample spice notes all emerge from the 2017 Chardonnay Platt Vineyard, which comes from a site on the Sonoma Coast. Rich, full-bodied, and concentrated on the palate, it has bright acidity, a big mid-palate, and a great finish. It’s another powerful yet still balanced and lively Chardonnay from Brown that’s well worth seeking out. Drink it over the coming 7-8 years.

Vinous
The 2017 Chardonnay Platt Vineyard is racy and alluring from the very first taste. Orange peel, mint, chamomile, dried flowers and buttery notes infuse this sumptuous, oily Chardonnay. The Platt is one of the more overt wines in this range. All of the elements simply fall into place effortlessly. A final note of botrytis-tinged nuance adds to the wine's immeasurable appeal.
