"Merry Edwards' Klopp Ranch bottling highlights bright red fruit flavors with less emphasis on the savory component. A succulent wine, it is balanced and pure with an alluring suppleness. It strikes a gorgeous mid ground in terms of intensity. I'm not sure that anyone, even Edwards herself, can explain precisely what it is about the vineyards that results in the different expressions of her wines. But it's clear that the wines differ one from the other. It's not a marketing technique. Another unique and riveting Pinot Noir from Merry Edwards!" Michael Apstein, Wine Review Online, Jan. 24, 2017

"Medium to medium-dark ruby; intense, deep, earthy, plum, black raspberry, and pomegranate aroma with spicy notes and hints of mocha and dried herbs; medium-full body; deep, rich, extracted, savory, red and dark berry fruit flavors with a full, rich, textured mouthfeel; medium-full tannin; lingering aftertaste. A relatively big wine, typical of their style, that's appealing in its youth, though deserving another three to five more years of bottle aging. Very highly recommended." Nicholas Ponomareff, California Grapevine, February 2017
