2002 Merry Edwards Pinot Noir Olivet Lane - USA, California, Sonoma County, Russian River Valley (10/13/2010)
14.2% alcohol. Dark red color, with the faintest tinge of bricking at the rim of the glass. Rich nose of earth, black cherry, blackberry, and apple skins. In the mouth, delivers a completely different profile than the nose. The fruit profile is that of sharply sour black cherry, with some earthy notes, and a dull hole in the middle palate. Caressing texture, but a bitter finish that just feels like sucking on a grape skin. Too much time on the skins, extracting too much color, so that it outlived the fruit? That’s what I think the past few aged bottles of Merry Edwards I’ve drunk. B
