From the producer: "The crown jewel of Rivers-Marie across all varietals, the 550 vine block at Summa planted in 1978 represents everything we love about the wine business. The combination of history, ultimate quality and unique character make for the most distinctive Pinot Noir on the Sonoma Coast. When people talk of new world wines, the depth of fruit is commonly mentioned but this is always a wine of breadth and great intellectual interest."
