Rivers-Marie Pinot Noir Summa Vineyard 2007 750mL
Medium red. Intriguing nose melds cranberry, orange zest, rust, smoke and underbrush. Sweet but juicy and lively, with a saline element contributing to a chewy texture. Sneaky acidity and firm tannins keep this a bit youthfully subdued. I'd wait a year before pulling the cork. (just 13.2% alcohol; from two different blocks; two-thirds new oak)
