Merry Edwards Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2021

The 2021 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is a textbook example of the fine wines that come from grapes grown near our coastal boundaries. Cooling fog and our proximity to the Pacific Ocean allow fruit to ripen slowly and evenly. From a blend of clones, this graceful wine presents a floral, fruity profile with contrasting earthy undertones. This youthful and pretty wine offers notes of sandalwood, black tea, and dried rose petals, along with savory spice and a dusting of cocoa. Silky and tightly knit tannins marry with bright acidity leading into a palate with layers of forest floor, dark berries and plum. The finish is refreshing and long.
