2012 Rivers-Marie Summa Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir, 450 cases
We feel like we got everything right with the farming of this block in 2012. It's become a high vigor block due to some excessive fertilization throughout the years so for the first time ever, we experimented with additional fruiting canes at pruning to control vigor. At least for this vintage, it worked well. The vines appeared more balanced throughout the growing season and we were able to dry farm this block for the first time ever. Of course one year is a small sample size. Our new found genius farming strategy proved to be a bit of anomaly when 2013 rolled around and we were right back to 1 ton per acre. If you're a Summa fan, enjoy this opportunity to load up on a great vintage. With 2013, it looks like we are right back to 1 or 2 bottle allocations. The aromatics here are deeply pitched with notes of rhubarb, orange zest and sous bois. There's good palate weight here but plenty of acidity to provide cut, prolong the finish and focus the overall wine. The red berry focus provides even more perceived tension and the wine actually tightens with a little aeration. There's plenty of energy here and for the first time ever, plenty of quantity. We will enjoy it while it lasts.
