2000 Klopp Ranch Pinot Noir
Return to Critical Acclaim | About this vineyard | Wine Details
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."
The Robb Report, May 2003
"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."
