2019 Merry Edwards Meredith Estate Pinot Noir Russian River Valley, California

The nose presents seductive, perfumed, floral notes that immediately lift from the glass. Creamy and round upon entry, this elegant wine slowly unfolds and reveals layers of black cherries, violets, baking spice and cocoa nibs. Well-integrated oak brings touches of vanilla and root beer. This is classic Meredith Estate with beautiful structure supported by well-balanced acidity and a slightly spicy, lingering finish.
