  subtle aromas of cherry, plum, and earth that become more generous on the palette; there is bright acidity and smooth tannins with a medium long finish. Stood up nicely to grilled lamb chops marinated in mustard, olive oil, and herbs de Provance

  Opened not decanted. The oak was so prevalent that I’m guessing this needs another 5-7 years to integrate. The result was that the wine was choppy and harsh with the cherry fruit in conflict with the oak. Fair to Good at this point in time.
  
  As an aside, we tasted at the winery not too long after the sale but did not buy any bottles. I also found the use of new FR oak to be too much for my palate at that time. It reminded me of one of my old tasting notes of newly released Bordeaux wines as “licking grape juice off an oak floor”.

  Fruity on the nose— raspberry, wild fruit on the mouth. Soft long mellow finish. It has mellowed out a lot since we tasted this at the vineyard in 2014/2015. It was their boldest Pinot they produce at the time of the tasting. I think this can hold for another 5 years. 92

  Coppersmith has been our favorite of Merry Edwards' Pinot Noirs across multiple vintages, although all of them are excellent. Layers of full bold flavors consisting of ripe black cherry, cedar forest floor and spirited cinnamon and nutmeg spices. The acidity fits perfectly with the style, and carries the lengthy savory finish on forever. Went superbly with our grilled salmon. We see no reason why this wine will not be drinking great in another five years.
