Alesia

Alesia is a Pinot Noir-focused label under the Rivers-Marie umbrella, created by Thomas Rivers Brown and Genevieve Marie Welsh as a second label or negociant project drawing from various Sonoma Coast and Anderson Valley sources. The wines are positioned below Rivers-Marie in price and production model, offering Pinot Noir at more accessible price points from well-regarded vineyard sites including Falstaff Road. At auction, prices average $46 per bottle across 120 lots, with the range from $1 to $110. The portfolio consists primarily of Pinot Noir from different vineyard sources and appellations. Alesia provides an accessible entry point into Thomas Rivers Brown's winemaking style without the scarcity premium of the flagship Rivers-Marie label. The Falstaff Road Pinot Noir is the estate's most specifically identified vineyard-designated offering.

Alesia is the second label of Rivers-Marie, created by star winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown as a more accessible Pinot Noir project drawing from Sonoma Coast and Anderson Valley sources.

The Falstaff Road Pinot Noir represents the estate's single-vineyard offering within the multi-source Alesia lineup.

120 lots average $46 per bottle — the lowest per-bottle average among California producers in the batch — reflecting the second-label pricing strategy.

The portfolio spans multiple appellations of Pinot Noir from cool-climate coastal California, providing varietal and regional range within the single-variety focus.

In the Glass

Alesia Pinot Noirs are cool-climate California: red cherry, cranberry, dried herbs, and forest floor from the Sonoma Coast and Anderson Valley origins. The style is fresh and moderate in alcohol rather than rich and opulent, reflecting Thomas Rivers Brown's preference for restraint even at the accessible price point. The Falstaff Road shows more site-specific depth and structure.
