Merry Edwards Meredith Pinot Noir 2019 (750ML)

95+ Points, Erin Brooks, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2019 Pinot Noir Meredith Estate has a medium ruby-purple color. It slowly unfolds to black fruits and notes of licorice, graphite, forest floor and prosciutto. The palate is bold and lushly fruited with dark, mineral-laced fruits, a firm, fresh frame and a still youthfully wound finish. Give it another 2-3 years in bottle. 1,320 cases produced." 06/21

93 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "The 2019 Pinot Noir Meredith Estate is a potent, dark wine. Black cherry, chocolate, licorice, sweet spice and espresso abound. This is an especially lush, oak-driven style, but it all works well together. The Estate is one of the more overt, concentrated wines in this range." 06/22

96 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com: "Aromas of rose petals, red cherries, plums and garden herbs. Full-bodied with fine, taught tannins. Juicy red and black fruit, paired with chicory root, allspice and nutmeg. Dark blue fruit. Well-formed intensity and depth. So structured and tannin-driven." 04/22

93 Points, Kim Marcus, Wine Spectator: “Suave and well-structured, this offers plum pastry and cherry tart flavors that show plenty of forest floor notes, with firm tannins and acidity. Engaging floral accents linger into the finish, showing lithe spiciness and richness.” 06/21

96 Points, Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast: "A potpourri aroma leads to a soft, lushly layered core of baked fruit, with lifted acidity and broad tannins supporting this single-vineyard wine. White pepper and forest floor tones play along, showing the intensity often found from the site." 11/21

95 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com: "The 2019 Pinot Noir Meredith Estate offers lots of ripe red and black fruits as well as classic Russian River spice, cola, and brambly herbs. It's beautiful on the palate, with integrated acidity, ripe tannins, and outstanding length. This thrilling, complete Russian River Pinot Noir will drink well for a solid decade or more, although there's no need to delay gratification." 07/21
