This wine screams “cherries!” ....red and black cherry with notes of cola and hints of allspice. Opens beautifully and still has tannic backbone. Structure and good mouth feel. A beautiful Pinot. — 7 years ago

Candied red and black fruit, flowers, and Asian spice fill your nose. There is nicely integrated oak, soft tannins, and moderate acid. Lush and soft in its current state, quite enjoyable. — 8 years ago

With all the bad pub about the 2011 California vintage I wanted to try the Merry Edwards that I got on sale. My store of choice originally had it priced at $79.99 and I bought it for $29.99, WHAT! That's right $29.99, lucky me and what a good discovery. On the nose I get black cherry, black raspberry some clove and caramel nuances. On my first taste my eyes lit up and a big smile came to my lips. There is sweet dark fruit of black cherry, raspberry, blueberry, and cranberry. There is a smooth silky mouth feel with medium tanning and lip smacking acidity. The well balanced melding of all aspects in this wine makes for an enjoyable evening. — 10 years ago

Love this Pinot! Such a solid producer. The structure is rock solid and confident, boasting a lovely array of complexities. Wet leather, cola, dusty cherries and raspberries, mild fennel, and moist black soil. Delicious. — 7 years ago

Not the best vintage I've had of this but still solid. Black currant, blackberry, cedar, maybe a little more menthol than I'd like but I wouldn't call it distracting. Medium to full bodied, medium acidity. Good intensity. I'll pop the next one in a few more years. — 9 years ago

The minerality, citrus and bright acidity in this wine pair so perfectly with summer. If you have some in your cellar, you won't regret popping the cork right now. Delicious, and so refreshing. #blackcordonwine — 10 years ago

Nice red, black fruit and cola notes. Savory herbs and organic earth mid-palate and on the finish. High alcohol takes it out of balance a bit. Needs time. — 10 years ago
