2023 Summum Pinot Noir

This vintage of Summum Pinot Noir comes from our oldest own-rooted block of Pinot Noir at Seven Springs. Originally planted in 1982, these Pommard clones thrive in iron-rich, volcanic Jory soils. The 40-year-old dry-farmed vines are harvested, sorted and fastidiously cared for by hand alone. 

Does Summum ever not light up the person pressing their nose to it, tossing aside whatever else may be happening to surrender to these aromas and take a sip that simply goes on and on? What an intoxicating wine, chockablock with ripe red fruits, sous bois and just the right dose of new French oak. Wherever you taste it, silk becomes the seat, capacious becomes the room, and the sheer thrill that wine can bring is the destination to which this Pinot Noir is the vehicle.
