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.

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.
