Merry Edwards 2001 Klopp Ranch Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)

Country: US / Klopp Ranch
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Merry Edwards / Russian River Valley

From the southern, cooler part of the valley, but on a sunny ridge above the fog, a fascinating study in contrasts. It has brilliantly crisp, citrusy acidity, but is a fat, fleshy wine, with mouthwatering flavors of black cherries, cola, mocha and gingersnap. The scour of dusty tannins on the finish suggests this wine will hold for several years.
