"This is an amazingly complex wine and a fine expression of the cool vintage. Perhaps the most notable feature is acidity; it’s strong, almost tingly, and will certainly help the wine age. The flavors are explosive yet refined, with notes of cherries, cola, pomegranates and plums. Good as it is to drink now, you’ll want to cellar it until 2018, and it will provide beauty for many additional years."

"Merry Edwards has scored the vinous equivalent of a hat trick with this trio of 2010 Pinot Noirs (Klopp Ranch, Flax Vineyard and Meredith Estate). This one, from the Meredith Estate, exemplifies her style of Pinot Noir, bold yet refined. It seems paradoxical, but she pulls it off consistently. The Meredith Estate is less immediately explosive and accessible compared to the one from the Flax Vineyard. Its complexity reveals itself over time as the tannins give way to a plethora of dark fruit and engaging earthiness. A dark minerality underlies and supports the wine. I would cellar this one for several years at least to let it soften. Though those who like more oomph with their Pinot Noir will have no trouble enjoying it now."

"Silky and smooth with elegant flavors of bright cherry, strawberry and spice; juicy and fresh with vibrant, long flavors." -Anthony Dias Blue

"Dark-hued, rich and tannic, showing good density and concentration, with power and torque. This offers lots of dark berry, mocha, espresso and subtle vanilla bean notes. Needs cellar time or aeration. Best from 2014 through 2022. 1,450 cases made."
