Merry Edwards Russian River Pinot Noir 2005 3 Liter

This wine possesses beauty and captivating appeal that persuades wine lovers to seek out Pinot Noir from our extraordinary appellation. My 2005 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir embodies these irresistible qualities and classic, regional characteristics — luscious fruit, deep rich flavors, and velvety weight.

Beginning with a cold soaking of whole clusters and berries, I vinified and then blended the individual lots of wine. Ten months of aging in sixty-eight percent new French oak barrels framed and highlighted the wine’s abundant personality and dimension. A kaleidoscope of aromas cascades into mouthwatering flavors of white pepper, lavender, raspberry purée, black currant, plums, and a slight pipe tobacco note. The wine’s texture is a lavish, satisfying mouthful, extending to a memorable finish.

Critical Acclaim

93 James Suckling

An alluring nose of woody spice, moss, suede and black cherry. Full-bodied with fine, slightly tight tannins. Earthy and savory on the palate with great intensity and depth. Nicely spiced. Give this a little more time to soften.

95 Wine Enthusiast

A hint of stemmy earthiness leads the way to a luxurious, expansive and velvety palate. The acidity is edgy and fresh, lifting the savory and floral components over a rich, complex berry core.

92 The Wine Advocate

Medium ruby, the 2019 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley opens with savory scents of cranberry sauce, rhubarb, cherries, and violet perfume with earthy and meaty touches. The medium-bodied palate is lushly fruited with a grainy texture, juicy freshness and long, spicy finish.

90 Jeb Dunnuck

The 2019 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley reveals a healthy ruby color as well as terrific raspberry and cherry fruits, medium-bodied richness, a supple, elegant mouthfeel, present yet light tannins, and a good finish. It's charming, and while it drops off slightly on the finish, it’s balanced and satisfying. It should have 7-8 years of longevity.
