Merry Edwards, Russian River Valley (Sonoma County, California) Pinot Noir Coopersmith Vineyard 2013

($63): Merry Edwards’ Coopersmith Pinot Noir is proportioned similarly to her Georganne bottling.  At this stage the black fruit is more apparent with the savory notes playing in the background.  It has the same suave texture, with juicy acidity and well-polished tannins.  It’s tough to choose between them, which is why her single vineyard wines are so enthralling.
