Rivers-Marie Pinot Noir Summa Vineyard 2010 750mL

Good medium red. Wild spices, pepper and strawberry on the highly perfumed nose. Spicy on entry, then shows a distinct green edge that runs through to the slightly bitter finish. I don’t find a lot of ripeness or texture here. Will the green element be absorbed with some time in bottle? (10% whole clusters used here for the first time–for complexity, according to winemaker Thomas Brown)
