  • At peak and still delicious !! I agree with my tasting note of almost one year ago !!
    Perfect cork after over a decade in the bottle, easily removed. Dark ruby colored with little to no oxidation and medium clarity. Consumed over two days. All UCD37 (isolated by Merry Edwards at Mount Eden Vineyard, aka the Merry Edwards selection) clone Pinot Noir from this Russian River vineyard replanted in 2006. This 2009 was the first year Merry Edwards produced from Georganne and the last bottle of the vintage in my cellar.

  • Vibrant red color, faintly translucent. Ripe raspberry, strawberry nose. Smooth, rich fruit, cherries, strawberry, raspberry. Smooth tannins, beautifully balanced acidity. Finishes very long with raspberry and strawberry. Beautiful wine. Drink next 6 to 8 years.

  • This wine is tasting extremely good right now !! The cork was nearly perfect after a decade in the bottle. This is a balanced Pinot Noir that I consumed over two days. Deep ruby color with no oxidation, clarity medium. Aromas of pomegranate and rose hips, flavors of cranberry, cherry, rhubarb, and forest floor with a pleasant medium to long finish. Popped and poured, this wine really benefited from gentle oxygen since it was much more soft and integrated on day two. Great fruit with firm acidity made into a very balanced Pinot Noir from the Georgeanne Vineyard in the Russian River Valley appellation of Sonoma County. This Pinot Noir is an age worthy wine and has many more years of life left. I still have one more bottle of this vintage remaining; I may open it in the next few months or so to verify my rating.

  • My last bottle of 6 and glad I waited. Spice dominates with good concentration and grippy acidity still keeping this wine together. Over the years its developed some silky body that I find appealing. The finish continues with the spice dominated flavor.
