Merry Edwards 2019 Klopp Ranch Pinot Noir
Russian River Valley, Sonoma County

Discover an award-winning expression of California terroir with this exquisite Pinot Noir from Merry Edwards’ historic Klopp Ranch vineyard. Cultivated in Goldridge soils since 1982, our 2019 vintage reveals complex layers of wild pomegranate, sun-ripened strawberries, and brambly blackberries—interwoven with earthy forest floor notes and whispers of lavender.

Experience a luxuriously silky texture that glides across your palate, supported by velvety tannins reminiscent of dark chocolate. Bright acidity balances the wine’s rich depth while unveiling subtle hints of citrus zest and baking spices. With consistent 93-point accolades from top critics across previous vintages (including Wine Advocate and Jeb Dunnuck), this Russian River Valley gem showcases remarkable aging potential—decant now to appreciate its vibrant youth or cellar for 8-10 years as flavors evolve toward greater complexity.

At 14.5% alcohol content, this medium-to-full-bodied red wine pairs beautifully with herb-roasted poultry, wild mushroom risotto, or artisanal cheeses. Crafted from heritage Pommard clones blended with Dijon selections, each sip captures Sonoma’s cool-climate elegance in a bottle that stands apart through its seamless structure and lingering finish—a true collector’s choice for discerning enthusiasts seeking premium California Pinot Noir.
