"Creamy red fruit and light stemmy spice adorn this soft, silky wine from coastal sites. It shows an opulent mouthfeel and teases of rose and forest floor. Cranberry, pomegranate and rhubarb come to mind on the palate, as full-bodied tannins and oak contrast it all. Virginie Boone"
yr. 2006 Wine Enthusiast:
91 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Merry Edwards Winery Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir" from the vintage 2006 on 01.01.2009 with 91 of 100 points.
"Acidity marks this ripe, delicious wine, giving it a tartness that works to balance the extraordinarily ripe flavors. Cherries, black raspberries, mulberries and pomegranates all mingle together, with spice and cedar complications, and the finish is totally dry and somewhat tannic. Great now, and should hold for a good six years."

"Here's a nice, tasty Pinot that offers plenty of attractive flavor without real complexity. It's light and silky, with spicy cherry, pomegranate, cola, tangerine zest and smoky vanilla flavors. Drink now."

93 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Merry Edwards Winery Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir" from the vintage 2004 on 01.01.2007 with 93 of 100 points.
"What a roll Merry Edwards is on. This is a basic, appellation series Pinot, but it's as good or better as most other wineries' single-vineyard bottlings, showing a dry, rich, acidic, earthy character in its youth. But there's enough cherry cola fruit to drink now, if you decant. Chewy and complex, it should improve for five years and hold for another five."

87 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Merry Edwards Winery Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir" from the vintage 2003 on 01.01.2005 with 87 of 100 points.
"Displays classic cool climate character in the stimulating acids and brisk tannins. Is it a cellarworthy wine? Probably not. There's blackberry and cherry fruit, but this dry, elegant wine isn't built for the long haul."

88 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Merry Edwards Winery Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir" from the vintage 2002 on 01.01.2004 with 88 of 100 points.
"A mellow, smooth wine with soft tannins that frame savory flavors of cherries, vanilla, cinnamon and mint. It's racy and stylish, with good length to the finish. Drink now."
yr. 2001 Wine Enthusiast:
91 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Merry Edwards Winery Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir" from the vintage 2001 on 01.01.2004 with 91 of 100 points.
"Very similar in profile to Merry Edwards's Olivet Lane bottling, with the same pomegranate, cherry, rhubarb and tobacco flavors. It is a little leaner and sharper, although that same dryness is there. That makes it a relative value."
