The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Roberto Corona Vineyard, from a site on the Oakville bench, is the richest of these 2009 Cabernets from Rivers-Marie. It bursts from the glass with jammy, opulent fruit and a big, full-bodied personality. Blue and black fruit, mint, licorice and sweet spices wrap around the finish. The 100% new oak comes through here. I am not sure this wine needs all the oak and makeup. There is plenty of pedigree already. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2021.-AG
Offers a tight, distinctive core of red berry, raspberry and wild berry flavors that reverberate and turn chewy, ending with a pleasant floral scent. Best from 2014 through 2028. 150 cases made. — JL (11/2012)
I also adored the 2009 Rivers-Marie Cabernet Sauvignon Roberto Corona Vineyard, from Thomas Rivers Brown (who also makes Maybach and Schrader) a wine that has been beautiful since the very beginning. It was once again stellar on this night, with endless layers of fruit and a generous, resonant personality that makes for great near and medium-term drinking.- Antonio Galloni (10/2013)
