Merry Edwards 2010 Klopp Ranch Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)

Country: US / Klopp Ranch
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Merry Edwards / Russian River Valley

This vineyard has been source to some of the winery’s greatest bottlings. The wine is enormously fruity, with raspberry, cherry and red-plum flavors that flood the palate. But it’s no mere fruit bomb, offering the most wonderful tannin-acid structure and a dryness that keeps the wine stimulating through a long, spicy finish. Drinkable now, but also cellar worthy through 2018, at least.
