2008 Rivers-Marie Summa Old Vines Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

14.1% alc.. · Moderate reddish purple color with slight yellowing of the rim in the glass. Robust aromas of black cherry, blackberry, cassis, rose petal and hazelnut with a slight oxidative note. Rather bold with a copious core of very ripe cherry and berry fruits and a subtle riff of smoke taint in the background. Still giving of plenty of fruit, but offering little tertiary character. Drink now to 2020. Score: 89. Reviewed March 29, 2017
