Merry Edwards 2006 Olivet Lane Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)

Country: US / California
Variety: Pinot Noir
Winery: Merry Edwards / Olivet Lane

Shows the classic structure of a fine Russian River Pinot, and Merry Edwards’ way of making everything elegant. Dry and crisp, the wine displays cherry pulp and skin, cola, anise and spice flavors, wrapped into ultra-refined, velvety tannins. Doesn’t seem to have the fruity focus and concentration of recent vintages, though, so drink soon.
