TN: 2018 Rivers-Marie Pinot Noir Summa Vineyard

  • 2018 Rivers-Marie Pinot Noir Summa Vineyard - USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast (3/24/2020)
    Fresh off the UPS truck, been open about 2hrs. Black raspberry, blood orange and some Sonoma Coast funkiness. Nice texture, lip smackingly bright and edgy. Have about 4oz left that I’ll save for tomorrow to see if it tones down a notch and softens the bitter tannin streak on the finish. Tangy dark cherry lingers on. Real tasty.

Mine arriving tomorrow.

You didn’t waste any time here, did you. When I finished the final few ounces of the 2017 last night, there was a distinct cranberry note in the finish. Did you find that in the 2018?

Finishing it this evening. I’ll let you know.

Still sitting on dark cherry on day 2. The finish was kind of disjointed today. I’d let these sit for a while before opening another.

Appreciate the note, Brian - thx for taking one for the team.
