2017 Rivers-Marie Summa Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

13.5% alc., 300 cases, $60. A Rivers-Marie estate vineyard. · Dark garnet color in the glass. Mildly reserved aromas of sous-bois, black raspberry and blueberry fruits. Lighter in weight than the Old Vine Summa bottling, but with a vivacious and engaging core of dark red fruits and spice. Seamless, with lithe tannins, welcome acidity, and a caressing texture. The wine gains appeal over time in the glass. An excellent, giving wine now that has the balance to age nicely, but lacks the concentration and finish of the Old Vine Summa bottling. Score: 93.
