Rivers-Marie Pinot Noir Summa Old Vines 2016 750mL

JD 96 “Considered the flagship vineyard of the estate, the 2016 Pinot Noir Summa Old Vines comes from vines planted in 1978 and was brought up in 50% new French oak. It is a vibrant, focused, exotic effort that reveals incredible notes of raspberries, plums, cedary spice, blood orange, and earth. Medium-bodied, beautifully balanced, with a sappy, energetic texture and fine tannin, it needs 2-3 years of bottle age and will keep for two decades or more.” (June 2018)
