2018 Rivers-Marie Summa Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

13.5% alc., 325 cases, $60. This “Baby Summa” comes from 20-year-old vines. the wine relies more on fruit impact and less on complexity than the Old Vines Summa. · Dark garnet color in the glass. Highly expressive nose, offering scents of dark pie cherries, black raspberries, plum and a hint of vanilla and toast. Mid-weight in concentration, offering a charge of black cherry fruit that saturates the palate and holds up in generosity through an extended finish. Gracious tannins make for easy approachability.
