2000 Merry Edwards, Russian River Valley Pinot noir, Klopp Ranch (California)

Dark and rich purple color—perhaps too rich . . . Muddled aromas include old milk and dried blackberry fruit. Thick in the mouth with flavors of dark cherry pie and blackberry cobbler, but without ancillary layers of complexity. Drying tannins and good acidity give the wine a lively feel. The finish has a menthol coolness that is an interesting counterpoint to the drying fine-grained tannins.

(The next morning the wine hadn’t changed much, but perhaps the fruit flavors were more forward and better focused. Note: Wine Spectator gave the wine a 91 and Tanzer rated it 89. Our group was mystified . . .)
