Rivers-Marie - Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 (750ml) Koniaros

Rivers-Marie - Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 (750ml) KoniarosI just realized in looking at the vineyard composition of this wine, it is 100% St Helena appellation. I feel like we keep doing this, the 2021 Napa for instance was 100% Oakville. Ultimately, its a good sign, always chasing the best appellations every vintage. St Helena in 2023 was particularly strong given the abundant spring rains and cool growing conditions throughout the warmest parts of the summer. This edition is approximately 50% Panek, 20%

at which point it should drink nicely for two decades or more

ideal conditions and with a very healthy crop

and hints of cedar and cola

and citrus over a background of nuts and bakery aromas
