Note di degustazione
The 2017 Pinot Noir Summa Vineyard comes from vines planted in 1998. The wine aged 10 months in 33% new French oak. It's medium ruby in the glass with notes of woodsmoke, pipe tobacco, clove and cinnamon over wild blackberries, dried black cherries, charcuterie and underbrush, opening ever so slowly to red berry sparks and violet perfume with time in the glass. It's light to medium-bodied, intense and spicy with chalky tannins and juicy freshness, finishing long and layered. This is beautiful now but merits more time in bottle. 300 cases were made.

Ample ripe cherries, mulberries, baking spices, and orange blossom notes emerge from the 2017 Pinot Noir Summa Vineyard, which comes from a cooler vineyard that’s insight of the Pacific Ocean on a clear day. Aged 10 months in 50% new French oak, it’s one of the more structured wines in the lineup and is medium to full-bodied, with notable tannins, beautiful balance, and a great finish, all pointing to it having a solid 10-15 years of prime drinking.
The 2017 Pinot Noir Summa Vineyard is pliant, supple and engaging. The expression of fruit is more overt than in the Old Vines. Bright red cherry, plum, lavender, rose petal, mint, blood orange and raspberry are all beautifully delineated in a this striking, super-expressive Pinot that will be impossible to resist young. Creamy and beautifully textured, the 2017 has so much to offer. It is one of the many highlights in the range.
