2014 Bevan Cellars Pinot Noir Summit 2114

I tasted four Pinot Noirs from 2014, all of them stunning. Another Sonoma Coast cuvace, the 2014 Pinot Noir Summit 2114 is 60% Calera clone and 40% Swan clone. The wine is dark ruby, more primordial and muscular, with plenty of structure, moderate tannin and rich red and black fruits. It comes across like a Northern Chambertin from Burgundy with its meatiness and rather masculine structure. Give it another year of bottle age and drink it over the following decade.
