From the Robb Cellar
"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."

"Last year's Klopp Ranch offering was the biggest and fullest of the Merry Edwards' quartet, and nothing changes in 2000. Yet again a wine of  concentration, ripeness and ample mass."Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wines, May 2003

"Deftly balanced, ripe and richly flavored… . Intense and concentrated, with firm, integrated tannins.”

“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."
