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!
