Rivers-Marie Cabernet Sauvignon Calistoga 2022 is a premium single-appellation Napa Valley Cabernet sourced primarily from exceptional vineyards in Calistoga, including Larkmead and Peterson Family Vineyard. Despite the challenges of the 2022 growing season, extended hang time produced a wine with remarkable concentration, refined structure, and exceptional balance. Rich aromas of blackberry, cassis, black walnut, sage, incense, and toasted oak lead into a full-bodied palate layered with black cherry, dark plum, brambly spice, tobacco, crushed stone, and baking spices. Firm yet polished tannins and vibrant acidity carry through to a long, elegant finish, making this wine an excellent candidate for both current enjoyment and long-term cellaring. It pairs beautifully with grilled ribeye, filet mignon, braised short ribs, roasted lamb, and aged hard cheeses.
