Merry Edwards Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2018

Merry Edwards Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2018 is one hell of a wine that we couldn’t resist getting our hands on here at Hennings. Crafted from different parcels across the Sonoma Coast, with 100% grape destemming and maturation in 44% new oak barrels. This shows a clear, ruby red red in colour with exotic aromas of raspberry, red cherry, jam and spices. The palate is mouth-wateringly succulent with a bracing acidity and tannin structure. There’s an abundance of candied red cherries and berry fruits: red raspberries, wild strawberries, ripe boysenberries and juicy blackberries, balanced alongside notes of cocoa, violets and a hint of citrusy, blood orange and black pepper on a long, luscious finish. Merry Edwards Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is a seriously charming bottle of wine, that will pair well with food or equally enjoyed on it’s own.

“Jammy plum, strawberry and dark cherry ooze from the core of this beautifully coastal wine, seasoned in dried herb, clove and black tea. Expressive and varietal, with a thick tannin structure, it has room to open further and unwind, its oak well integrated and its tannins structured.” – 94 Pts, Virginia Boone, WineEnthusiast.com.
