Rivers-Marie Summa Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast, USA 2024

Summa Vineyard Pinot Noir is a beautifully refined expression from one of the Sonoma Coast’s most legendary vineyard sites. Perfumed aromas of wild strawberry, red cherry, blood orange, rose petal, and pine spice rise from the glass, layered with subtle floral and savory complexity. The palate is graceful and finely textured, delivering pure red fruit, delicate tannins, and vibrant acidity that bring remarkable lift and precision. A subtle mineral edge carries through the long, fragrant finish, adding depth and elegance. Ethereal, complex, and highly collectible, this is a stunning Pinot Noir that captures the singular character and pedigree of the historic Summa Vineyard.

"The 2024 Pinot Noir Summa Vineyard is one of the more accessible of these young 2024s and probably the wine I would open first, if I had them all. Crushed flowers, mint, spice, tobacco and dried autumn leaves are some of the notes that waft from the glass. All of this fruit is from vines planted in 1998." Vinous 94
