My only complaint was the level of oak found in the wine

baking spice and wild herb accents in this sinewy Barolo

Rivers-Marie, Occidental Ridge Vineyard Pinot Noir Vintage:2021 it's a solid "entry-level" NapaA more savory and brambly personality emerges from the 2021 Pinot Noir Occidental Ridge Vineyard, with wild herbs, ripe cherry, and orange zest. Medium to Full bodied, with a seamless feel of fresh acidity, a soft texture, fine tannins, and a note of black raspberry, the freshness really lifts with ripeness off the palate, with a focused feel. Long on the palate, its drinking beautifully now and will drink well over the next 10 or so years.
