Somber wine from the RRV, aged in French barrels, with a opulent and layered flavor profile that includes deep spiced cherry, deep chocolate, and earthy spices, all seamless by a warm and inviting cinnamon note.

Merry Edwards' Pinots consistently impress, and this single vineyard is a remarkable example. It's likely still in its early stages, but its fruit-forward profile is already well-suited to the region's climate, with notes of cherry, blackberry, and elegant whispers of vanilla, harmonious by a crisp, clean finish.
