"I’d put the 2017 Pinot Noir Summa Old Vines up there with any Pinot Noir coming out of California today. It’s a brilliant, magical, age-worthy wine from this tiny vineyard located far out on the Sonoma Coast. Similar to the straight Summa Vineyard yet with even more structure, it offers a complex bouquet of blackberries, black cherries, baking spiced, graphite, and earth, with an exotic, orange zest-like character developing with time in the glass. Full-bodied, concentrated, with both tannins and acidity, it needs 2-4 years of bottle age and should easily evolve for 15-20 years. Bravo! This cuvée comes from vines planted in 1978, spent 10 months all in new oak (of which it shows not a trace), and there are a scant 180 cases made."
