Rivers-Marie Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Rivers-Marie Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 is a bold, finely structured Napa red that brings together fruit from multiple sub-AVAs for added depth and nuance. Crafted by Thomas Rivers Brown and Genevieve Marie Welsh, it balances power with precision, showing the polish and pedigree that have made Rivers-Marie a respected name in California Cabernet.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it offers a deep, dark color that hints at its concentration and richness. The nose opens with generous aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, spice, and a subtle touch of toasted oak, leading into a palate layered with dark berry fruit, cassis, and savory burnt spice. The wine is full-bodied, structured, and persistent, with firm tannins and a long finish that gives it excellent aging potential. While already approachable, it should continue to develop beautifully through 2035, gaining further complexity and finesse over time.

Production
This Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from several distinct areas within Napa Valley, giving the wine both breadth and complexity. The vineyards benefit from Napa’s varied terroirs, where warm days and cooling influences help preserve balance and aromatic intensity. The wine is aged in 75% new oak barrels, adding structure, texture, and layers of toasted spice without overwhelming the fruit. With an alcohol level of 14.5%, the winemaking clearly aims for concentration, ripeness, and cellar-worthy structure.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for grilled or roasted beef, lamb, and game dishes, especially when served with rich sauces or herb-driven accompaniments. It also pairs well with aged hard cheeses and hearty mushroom dishes. Serve at 16-18°C, and consider decanting for 1-2 hours if drinking young to help the wine open up and show its full aromatic range.
