From vines planted in the 1970s. First seemed quite tight, then opened nicely.

2006 Vintage. Continued to develop over several hours. I love the secondary characteristics contrasted with the rich fruit in this wine. Still has a few years ahead of it.

2010 vintage. Totally killer. Citrusy bright raspberry and red currant with dried and fresh herbs.

2008 vintage. So delicious. Bright raspberry and cherry with beautiful mixed herbs and citrus peel on the finish. Gorgeously sweet aromatics.

Hello, floor of forest. Greetings, perfectly ripe black cherry. No goodbyes; this hearty beauty is endless. All other California pinots, the line forms here.

Seriously, happy birthday to me.
Orange zest makes this wine stand out. Seriously, in a blind tasting, Summa would stand out.

Excellent, richness and pedigree building with air. Well balanced, texturally maybe a little cloudier than I’d like but I’m nit picking
great pairing with jerk salmon and curried couscous
