A nice Pinot. However, I think this would have probably been better one or two years ago. And certainly has enough weight and character. But, the fruit notes on this one have become a little bit muted, maybe potentially generic and tart? Edwards Pinots to me have never seemed to be overly sweet and even a tad bit tart and herbal. Didn't get much of the herbal side. More of a dirty, tart fruit. Finished with minimal acidity. Drink now.

This wine did not show well for the first eight years of it’s life. It had strong blueberry notes that weren’t balanced well by earth or acid. Today the wine has integrated and is drinking beautifully. Blueberry is now complemented by smoked meat mid-palate and ample acidity. Sadly this is my last bottle as I think it will continue to drink beautifully for 5+ years.

Popped and poured. Crimson color. Rich nose of dried cherry and a hint of tobacco. Medium palate with cherry, forest floor and mushroom. Good acidity and balance. Medium finish. Delicious.

A weak showing for M.E. Out balance on the acid/wood.
Better to leave these alone for a while.
A rare miss
