Merry Edwards Russian River Valley Klopp Ranch Pinot Noir 2004 Wine Review (NW)




Tasting notes:


Black cherry with hints of anise and cedar on the nose


Medium bodied on the palate


Long, silky finish of red fruit and cedar


Summary:


This Pinot Noir has good complexity and a silky texture, which are the two things that define the best of the varietal. Merry Edwards is a highly regarded producer who's wines have a reputation of drinking really well with a few extra years of bottle age. I would take this a step further and suggest that most good California Pinot Noir can sit in the cellar for at least a few years and do very well.


Expect to pay around $50 for this wine, and raise a glass!
