Score 97/100 · Drink 2025-2045, Jeb Dunnuck, Dec 2025

Coming from a site on the western bench in Oakville close to Vine Hill Ranch, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon M Bar Ranch Vineyard offers red and black fruits, spice, loamy earth, and savory nuances. It's full-bodied, with a pure, layered mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and a great finish. This very complex, satisfying effort has plenty of upfront appeal as well as the ability to evolve for 15-20 years. There are 311 cases produced. Drink 2025-2045.

The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon M-Bar Ranch is another superb wine in this range from Rivers-Marie. It emerges from one of the top sites in Oakville. Floral and spice notes lend notable aromatic brilliance. Readers will find a classy, polished Cabernet Sauvignon that marries finesse and power. Savory notes extend the long, effortless finish. This understated, nuanced Cabernet is terrific.

The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon M-Bar Ranch looks to be the best vintage yet under the Rivers-Marie label. The blueberries and black cherries on the nose exhibit lovely purity of fruit, while the full-bodied palate is richly concentrated and supported by supple tannins, then ends long and velvety.
