Wine Review: This very dark ruby color Pinot Noir from Merry Edwards opens with a fragrant and inviting pomegranate and raspberry tea bouquet with hints of wet stone. On the palate, this wine is medium plus with integrated fresh medium acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round and a bit oily. The flavor profile is a strawberry rhubarb and black plum with notes of loam and oak. I also detected hints of raspberry tea. The finish is drifts away nicely. This Pinot would be a popular bistro offering. I would pair this Pinot with a prime rib au jus or beef Burgundy. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Our 2020 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir reflects the nature of its coastal growing area. It is a blend of grapes from multiple vineyards, is a true representation of the marine-influenced region, where the environment allows us to leave the grapes on the vine long enough to develop abundant aromas and deep flavors. The inviting nose offers up scents of Santa Rosa red plums, cassis, dried sweet figs, and pomegranate backed by sandalwood and hints of tea rose. Bright and exciting on the palate, the entry begins with firm tannins and complex layers of red raspberries, bergamot tea, dried herbs and rose petal notes. Refreshing acidity carries the wine throughout the finish.
