2003 Merry Edwards Pinot Noir

91 points
“Merry Edwards has Russian River Pinot Noir down, defining it here with the delicate scent and velvet texture of a rose petal.”
Wine & Spirits, February 2007

“The richness on the palate is exciting.  This calls for a great prime rib, or maybe a roast rack of pork.”

“This one offers aromas of black cherry and brown spices as well as a whiff of earthiness that is a beautiful complexity.  It also deepened and revealed more layers and nuance after decanting.”

“A mélange of grapes from five Russian River Valley vineyards including Meredith, Klopp and Olivet Lane, this is a powerfully lush Pinot.  Packed full of dark berry richness, it’s as seductive as Pinot gets.”
