"From the same site yet from just the original plantings, the 2018 Pinot Noir Summa Old Vines offers even more iron and iodine notions as well as gorgeous black cherry fruit, leafy herbs, bay leaf, violets, candied orange peel, and Asian spices. More tight, backward, and reserved than the straight Summa Vineyard, it's medium to full-bodied, has perfectly integrated acidity, awesome balance, and a finish that won't quit. This is a magical Pinot Noir that will benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age and have 30 years of overall longevity. California's answer to Grand Cru Burgundy? Here you go. There are 180 cases made. Bravo."
