“Firm structure is apparent immediately on the
aromas. Lush ripe black berries lending a red color and a very seductive
bouquet. All this leads to a perfectly balanced wine with a
backbone that will help it to age beautifully for a few years.”
-Narsai David, KCBS radio, November

“The Meredith…has the sweetest fruit, greatest
lift, sleekest build and most persistence of them all. We rolled
the 2002 into a blind tasting and it knocked us out with the
breadth and depth of its dark, ripe and rich berry fruit.”

“ A wealth of very pure, perfectly ripened cherry-like fruit at every
turn, this deftly oaked offering strikes a lovely balance between ripeness
and careful structure. Wonderfully tasty…it promises to grow over time
and will must surely reward a few more years of patience.”
-Connoisseurs’ Guide
to California Wine, February 2004
“…a rich, full bodied Pinot Noir, with good depth and length. It
is intensely fruity (black cherry) with overtones of spicy oak, tobacco and
wood smoke.”
-Ronn Wiegand, Restaurant Wine, Issue #99
Sunset Magazine notes that Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with
mushrooms and recommends 2001 Merry Edwards Meredith Estate to
complement Linguine with Mushroom Sauce
-Sunset, February 2004
"has a deeper intensity of fruit with even a firmer
backbone."
