Merry Edwards 2010 Meredith Estate Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)

Country: US / Meredith Estate
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Merry Edwards / Russian River Valley

This is an amazingly complex wine and a fine expression of the cool vintage. Perhaps the most notable feature is acidity; it’s strong, almost tingly, and will certainly help the wine age. The flavors are explosive yet refined, with notes of cherries, cola, pomegranates and plums. Good as it is to drink now, you’ll want to cellar it until 2018, and it will provide beauty for many additional years.
