2014 Rivers-Marie "Corona Vineyard" Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon
Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2014 Rivers-Marie "Corona Vineyard" Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon (96RP, 93VN, 91WS). Wine Advocate: "The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Corona Vineyard comes from the western Oakville hillside that was once an old gravel quarry. Blue/purple with notes of earth, crushed rock, blueberry and blackberry fruit, this is a relatively tannic, backward style compared to the other Cabernets with plenty of minerality, a muscular structure, full-bodied mouthfeel and loads of blue, red and black fruits. This is impressive and potentially fabulous with a great upside, but needs 3-5 years of bottle age and should keep for up to 30 years. (RP) 96+" (10/2016)

Praise for Rivers-Marie's 2014 vintage from Jeb Dunnuck for jebdunnuck.com: "Winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown has hit a home run with latest releases from his Rivers Marie label, which is a collaboration with Genevieve Marie Welsh started in 2002. These are big, rich, concentrated wines, yet like everything Brown is involved with, the wines are pure, perfectly balanced, and have a seamless texture that can be hard to describe. And as Napa Valley wines goes, these remain reasonably priced and should be snatched up by readers." (12/2017)

Vinous
“The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Corona Vineyard is super-expressive. A brooding, intense wine, the 2014 Corona exudes intensity. Beams of underlying tannin extended the finish nicely. Dark stone fruit, spice, leather and mocha build into the super-expressive finish. This is the last vintage of the Corona Cabernet for Rivers-Marie. (AG)” (12/2016)

Wine Spectator
“Well-centered on a core of supple dusty cherry and plum flavors, with fresh earth and dried herb notes amid the cedary tannins. Gains muscle and depth on the finish. (JL)” (11/2017)
