This Pinot Noir was delicious. Another great product from the female pioneer of winemaking in the USA. Age has tamed this wine very well. Nice balance and the fruits remain vibrant and well integrated with the earth flavors leading to a a nice medium finish. This wine has many more years ahead of it if cellared properly.

Gave it a 30 minute decant before pouring that first glass of dark-purple goodness! Certainly a little heavier as Merry Edwards often are but still very easy to drink! Incredibly smooth with wonderful dark fruit and licorice. Didn’t detect any “earthiness” - just silky smooth wine. Sad to be done with this vintage but it made for a great meal!

Opened and decanted for 30-min ahead of hearty chicken noodle soup. Dark, purple-violet color. The nose is hot (alcohol) and brings cherry blossoms, licorice, black tea, and crème de cassis. The palate is medium-full, square, concentrated and sharp, bringing a solid core of blueberry-rhubarb pie, dark cherries, wood smoke, plums, baking spices, and red raspberries into a hot finish. This wine is still primary. The wood and alcohol are not yet integrated, but given the pedigree I expect this will even out by 2024-2032. Technical score: 92. Enjoyment score: 91.

Great wine. It’s losing its fruit and becoming quite earthy. My last of the leftover Georgeanne’s from my wedding

Decanted for :15 minutes. Less fruit-forward than other ME Pinots. More earthy. Enjoyed, just different than the norm.
