Merry Edwards Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2018

Critical Acclaim: 94 pts Wine Enthusiast; 92 pts Antonio Galloni.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes: This brilliant, burgundy-hued wine immediately offers up fragrances of mixed berries, Bing cherry, cola, candied violets and black tea along with exotic spices and dried herbs. On the palate, there is a compelling mix of broad tannins and minerality, along with a seductive measure of smoky oak balanced with juicy acidity. Black plum, brambleberry, cassis and wet slate create a layered and lingering finish.

Varietal: Pinot Noir.
