This bottle was a bit different than my first two, starting with the very intriguing bouquet that reminded me of smelling summer berry bushes - a sort of fresh, slightly herbal quality mixed with sweeter fruit scents. The palate was red and black raspberries complemented by ripe peach, mildly assertive black pepper/spice, and a cool menthol on the close. If that sounds like an unusual mix of flavors, it is. But, somehow, it all works together. — 8 years ago
Excellent Pinot Noir from Russian River. Served with black and blue pork chops with sides. Snowing outside. Cold outside. Smokey, musty, fragrant, jammy.

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
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. — 11 years ago
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

I love this wine. Black fruit. Big. Deep dark and deeeelish! — 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
I always love this Pinot. — 11 years ago

5 years old and this is pretty fresh and bright. Ripe peaches and marshmallow. Pairs well with Cowgirl Red Hawk, the stinky cheese seems to bring out some light sweetness. Great stuff. — 6 years ago
