Asian five-spice, black cherry and a hint of lavender are evident on the nose. The lively entry features bright black berry notes along with ripe red cherry and milk chocolate that give way to warm spice and a faint suggestion of exotic flowers. Mouthcoating and round, the tannins are fine-grained and well-integrated for such a youthful wine. The lingering finish leaves us longing for another sip.
Merry Edwards Description
Our 2020 Meredith Estate Pinot Noir is a wonderful gift from Mother Nature. The perfect terroir and geographic location played a role in ensuring that despite a difficult vintage, we were able to bottle our flagship wine and are quite pleased with the result. We picked this vineyard a bit earlier than usual out of an urgency to protect our fruit and what we discovered throughout the aging of the wine in barrel is an incredibly elegant wine, with dancing acidity that will wake your palate.
Wine Enthusiast: 95 Points
Vibrant fruits, subtle herb and oak accents and nervy acidity bring an elegant but powerful expression to this focused, delicious and just slightly restrained wine. Great balance, moderate tannins and the fruit intensity all indicate more enjoyment with time. Best from 2025-2032. -J.G.
