Rivers-Marie Summa Old Vines Vineyard Pinot Noir 2014

This is the most aromatically expressive Old Vines to date. It too has the orange fruit element but also wintergreen, Christmas spice, pine needles, forest floor and black tea. The Old Vines has always been a very broad wine but this year features a bit more depth as well. The old vine extract gives the wine plenty of immediate appeal but even as complete as this is, it still holds plenty in reserve for future years.
