2005 Merry Edwards Klopp Ranch Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
14.4% alc., $57. The grapes are
farmed by noted winegrower Ted Klopp in a cool area featuring Goldridge sandy soils.
·
Darkly colored.
Welcoming nose of oak-kissed black cherries, earth, tea and cola. Full-bodied and deep dark stone fruits and
blueberries are well integrated with subtle oak and gentle tannins, finishing with some orange peel citric tang.
