Deep Ruby color with aromas of red fruits, cedar and baking spice. On the palate flavors of juicy cherry and ripe raspberry with forest floor notes and pepper spice. Full-bodied, fine smooth tannins, long finish ending with fruit, spice, oak and an earthy character. Nice! — 3 years ago

Merry Edwards – Pinot Noir “Meredith Estate” 2011
Russian River Valley AVA, Sonoma – USA 🇺🇸
Overview:
From one of California’s pioneering female winemakers, this estate Pinot Noir highlights the depth and elegance of Russian River Valley fruit. Crafted in the méthode à l’ancienne, it reflects a hands-on, traditional approach that balances richness with finesse.
Aromas & Flavors:
Ripe cherry, black plum, and wild strawberry layered with rose petals, forest floor, and a hint of baking spice. Subtle notes of cocoa and cola emerge with air.
Mouthfeel:
Fuller-bodied than many Pinots, with velvety tannins and remarkable depth. The palate combines juicy red fruit brightness with earthy undertones and a lingering, warm finish.
Food Pairings:
Duck breast with cherry glaze, mushroom risotto, or roasted salmon. For cheese lovers, try with brie or camembert.
Verdict:
A bold and expressive Pinot Noir, showing the hallmark concentration of Merry Edwards’ style. At over a decade old, it has softened beautifully, yet still holds vibrancy and structure.
🍷 Personal Pick Highlight:
A memorable vintage that demonstrates how Russian River Pinot Noir can age gracefully. A true collector’s gem from one of California’s most respected winemakers. — 9 months ago
Merry Christmas!! 1hr+ decant. Dark red color. Fruit forward on the nose and palate. Cherries and ample sweetness. Some Pinot elements and next to zero oak or terroir. Medium minus depth and a tough vintage. Rounding up from 92.5 cause it’s Christmas, but disappointing for the price. At least it was purchased at a charity auction for a great cause!! — 4 years ago

Nose of delicate oak, Meyer lemon, and bee pollen. The pallet hits with a rush of acidity, minerality, and that sweet Meyer lemon again, almost like a lemon sorbet, with a ripe pineapple finish and honey. The more it sits the more complex it gets. Quite tasty with the Louisiana style roast chicken I’m eating. Yum! — 7 years ago
