Wine Review: This clear medium red colored Pinot Noir from Merry Edwards opens with a bazooka bubble gum and spiced red plum bouquet with hints of strawberry and violet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with integrated medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is nicely balanced, round, fresh, and very juicy. The flavor profile is a red plum and toasted oak blend with notes of mushroom and acai berry. We also detected hints of strawberry and oolong tea, and saline. The finish is dry and its flavors and gentle tannins drift away nicely. We would pair this Pinot with a grilled veal chop or with a coriander dusted tuna steak. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Our 2022 Olivet Lane Pinot Noir's deep purple nose is immediately inviting, featuring fragrant, ripe cherries, blackberries, and violets along with complex notes of cedar, cigar box and black tea. The bright, juicy entry is balanced by its plush mouthfeel. On the palate, red fruit and chocolate-covered cherries lead to a savory, slightly spicy finish.
