"This is a complex, deep and delicious Pinot with lots to offer. Despite its depth, the wine’s balance will tempt you to drink it all now, but be patient."

"Last year's Klopp Ranch offering was the biggest and fullest of the Merry Edward's' quartet, and nothing changes in 2000. Yet again a wine of concentration, ripeness and ample mass..."

"richer and rounder; a full bodied, somewhat fleshier wine, with strawberry, plum, toast, and spicy oak flavors."
- Restaurant Wine, Issue #92

"Worthy of a place in your private collection...This is the Pinot Noir to satisfy devotees of Cabernet who contend that the former grape packs too little punch. An outstanding single-vineyard Pinot Noir .....full-bodied, richly textured and mouthwateringly luscious."
"From the Robb Cellar"-The Robb Report, May 2003

"Very highly recommended."
