Merry Edwards delivers intense pomegranate-driven Pinot with compelling herbal complexity.
Dense pomegranate and dark plum core. Anise and cola spice weave through concentrated fruit. Menthol coolness lifts the finish. Structured tannins provide backbone without overwhelming delicate Pinot character. This 2011 has reached beautiful drinking window. Will hold another 3-4 years easily.
