  Rivers Marie Summa Old Vines Vertical (Elks Tower Penthouse, Sacramento, CA): Sweet smelling nose. Delicate and complex palate. Crunchy acids behind a light mouth feel. Terrific length. Excellent. Probably my WOTN.

  Absolutely singing right now! I say drink one now! I don't know if it can get any better but I'll see in a year.

  A very flavorful pinot that starts out with a great nose. Not overripe like a lot of other new style pinots. Just wish I had more

  Opened not decanted. At an offliine. Cherry and black licorice on the nose; very light strawberry colored; bright cherry and raspberry notes with a dry cherry finish. Very Good.

  Rivers-Marie Dinner (Sage Restaurant - Newport Beach, CA): 44 cases produced. 100% new French oak. 13.8% alcohol. This Old Vine Summa showed a darker fruit profile than the 2002: aromas of plum, boysenberry, and dark cherry fruit with shadings of caramel and sweet vanillin oak. Nice texture and structure. Richer and more opulent than the 2002. Finishes with a juicy burst of red fruit. Delicious and just a hair behind the 2002 OV. 92-93 points.
