Crafted by the acclaimed winemaker Russell Bevan, the Summit 2114 Pinot Noir showcases a bold, opulent interpretation of California Pinot Noir. Sourced from select cool-climate vineyard sites, this cuvée benefits from intense diurnal temperature swings and well-drained soils, forcing the vines to struggle and produce tiny, highly concentrated berries. True to the Bevan Cellars signature style, this wine undergoes meticulous sorting and is crafted with minimal intervention, utilizing premium French oak aging to enhance its lush, velvety texture. It represents a dramatic, full-bodied expression of the varietal, balancing rich dark fruit flavors with the vibrant acidity and complex earthy undertones characteristic of its coastal terroir.
