Wine Review: This dark ruby colored Pinot Noir from Merry Edwards opens with a plum and gentle oak bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium to full bodied, balanced and savory. The flavor profile is a stewed plum and oak blend with hints of black pepper and a touch of anise at the very end. The finish is dry and its flavors, moderate tannins and acidity linger for quite a while after the wine is gone. I would pair this Pinot with Colorado rack of lamb or a prime rib. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: This attractive Sonoma Coast Pinot is lively and bright from the outset. The nose literally pops with a potpourri of wild berries, perfumed rose petals, lavender and spice. Swirl a glass of this wine to find scents of luscious strawberry-rhubarb pie, peach and citrus blossoms, pomegranate and red currant are revealed. Savory notes of sage, prosciutto and cedar are also present, complementing the profusion of fruit. Balanced, elegant and graceful, this wine’s focused aromatic complexity glides evenly onto the palate. A flashy mouthfeel offers racy acidity, a perfect foil for the mellow, smooth tannins. The finish is lasting and sustains its fresh impression throughout.
