Rivers-Marie is a boutique winery based in Napa Valley and the Sonoma Coast, founded by winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown, known for producing small-lot, vineyard-driven wines. Established in the early 2000s, the project quickly gained recognition for its focus on site expression and precision in winemaking.
The portfolio is centered on Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley and Pinot Noir from the Sonoma Coast, with fruit sourced from some of the region’s most respected vineyard sites. Production is intentionally limited, allowing for a hands-on approach and careful attention to detail throughout the process.
Stylistically, the wines balance richness with restraint, avoiding excessive extraction while maintaining depth and structure. Cabernet Sauvignons typically show dark fruit, graphite, and refined tannins with strong aging potential, while Pinot Noirs emphasize elegance, red fruit, and subtle earthy complexity.
Across the range, there is a clear emphasis on terroir, with each wine reflecting its vineyard origin. Rivers-Marie has built a strong reputation among collectors and critics, consistently receiving high scores and recognition as a leading modern producer.
