title: Merry Edwards 2007 Meredith Estate Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
description: A splendid, near-perfect Pinot, although it's very young and will benefit from time in the bottle. Few Pinots offer richer, more massive flavors. Just explodes on the palate with raspberries, cherries, persimmons, Dr. Pepper cola, mocha and cinnamon spices, yet the tannin-acid structure keeps it all balanced. A joy to drink as it warms and changes in the glass. Now–2014.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Meredith Estate
