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

Deep ruby color; blackberry, black cherry, and a hint of green peppercorn on the nose; high acidity, mild tannins; tastes like black plum sauce, black cherries, and a hint of graphite with a long fruity finish. Nellie said it's not bad — 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. — 8 months ago
