2012 Merry Edwards Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast

The 2012 Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley) is another pretty, juicy appellation-level Pinot from Merry Edwards. Here the flavors are a bit darker than in the Sonoma Coast bottling. Dark cherry, plum, mocha, cola, menthol, new leather and hard candy all flesh out in the glass. There is plenty of Russian River voluptuousness in the glass.
