Tasting notes
I loved the 2019 Chardonnay B. Thieriot Vineyard and this beauty does everything right, offering that classic salty, citrus, and mineral-laced style of the Sonoma Coast. It has wonderful stone and orchard fruit notes, medium to full-bodied richness, terrific mid-palate depth, and a racy, vibrant spine of acidity that carries through the mid-palate into the finish and keeps you coming back to the glass. It shows the more supple, rounded style of the 2019 vintage, but it should unquestionably evolve for a solid 10-15 years. This is a beautiful, classic Sonoma Coast Chardonnay that readers should snatch up.

The 2019 Chardonnay B. Thieriot Vineyard is the most intensely saline and bright of these Chardonnays, as it always is. Crushed rocks, lemon peel, chalk and white pepper give the 2019 tons of aromatic brilliance to match its chiseled, mid-weight personality. A whole range of bright, saline notes punctuate the finish. If I could only have one Rivers-Marie wine in 2019, it might very well be the Thieriot Chardonnay. This parcel was planted in 1990, ages ago by Sonoma Coast standards.
