2022 Merry Edwards Meredith Estate Pinot Noir [WE95][JD95][JS95]

Producer: Merry Edwards  Region: Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California Varietal: Pinot Noir  Year: 2022  Wine Enthusiast, 95 Points  "Vibrant fruits, subtle herb and oak accents, and nervy acidity bring an elegant but powerful expression to this focused, delicious and just slightly restrained wine. Great balance, moderate tannins and the fruit intensity all indicate more enjoyment with time."  Jeb Dunnuck, 95 Points  "The 2020 Pinot Noir Meredith Estate is rich with primary fruit and notes of black cherry cola, lavender candy, and pine sap. The structure is full and grounding, with cocoa powder, red plum skin, and cedar spice. Hold this another year or so and drink over the next 15 years."  James Suckling, 95 Points  "Aromas of ripe red and black fruit, bark and oolong. Full-bodied with bright, berry acidity. Velvety tannins. More fruity than the nose lets on, but it’s savory at its core. Sage and rosemary. Complex, but remains approachable. Tight. Great length."  Winemaker N
