Merry Edwards Pinot Noir Klopp Ranch

Now in its fourth decade this vineyard continues to spin out beautiful wines each harvest. Its location on the Laguna Ridge near Sebastopol puts it right in the heart of Russian River Valley. At this special site deep sandy soils and moderate temperatures create an archetypal terroir for Pinot Noir. The 2015 vintage is classic Klopp through and through. The aroma is packed with mouthwatering brambleberry fruit in all its forms: fresh berries jam and pie! Its sanguine complexion is augmented by black raspberry cola ripe fig and Bing cherry. Plush toasty French oak is nicely integrated and plays a supporting role along with rich dark chocolate. Its dynamic palate opens with a soft opulent volley but quickly builds to big lush tannins and a dense weighty yet expansive finish. Surprisingly this Pinot is light on its feet with ample acidity building a fresh mouthfeel. Long life is a virtual certainty for this wine. A delicious recipe for Pork Tenderloin with Seasonal Dried F
