Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Aromas of ripe cherries, red fruit and blood orange are intermingled with subtle notes of vanilla and butterscotch. The palate is supple and layered with vivid flavors of black cherry and raspberry. Silky and elegant, the balance of tannin, acidity and intense fruit truly captures the beauty of Pinot Noir.

Professional Ratings

92 Wine Enthusiast
A smaller project from the Scheid family of wines, this single-vineyard expression offers a sanguine nose of blood, iodine, dirt, crushed violets and a touch of pungent juniper and pine. It’s light and lithe on the palate, with pomegranate, cranberry and iron, proving to be a very fresh sipper.

Metz Road Metz Road, Riverview Vineyard Winery Image

Metz Road specializes in small-lot, single-vineyard Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays from Riverview Vineyard. Set along the eastern benchlands of the Salinas Valley, this cold-climate site owes its vinous personality to decomposed granite soils, morning fog and strong winds o? Monterey Bay some 40 miles to the north. These unique conditions help distinguish the wines from their brethren in the Santa Lucia Highlands directly across the valley. Sustainable farming practices and innovative winemaking techniques including on-site fermentations with wild yeast, are utilized to preserve the intrinsic character of the Riverview Vineyard.
