Merry Edwards 2014 Olivet Lane Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)

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

This is from one of the oldest Pinot Noir vineyards in the area, owned and farmed by Bob Pellegrini, and a place that has provided grapes Edwards since the 1980s. Spicy pine and cardamom greet the nose and palate, as silky smooth layers of rose and wild strawberry meet cardamon and vanilla. Medium-bodied, it remains complex and balanced as it develops additional nuance in the glass.
