With a decade of age, the fruit has shifted from fresh cherry into dried red berries and raspberry compote, layered with rose petal, forest floor, and a gentle baking-spice warmth. On the palate it’s smooth and resolved, medium-bodied with soft, polished tannins and a lively but well-integrated acidity that keeps everything lifted rather than heavy. There’s an earthy, savory undertone tea leaf, mushroom, a hint of clove that gives the wine depth and a sense of place, finishing long and graceful with subtle oak in the background. This is classic Russian River Pinot in its sweet spot: elegant, expressive, and more about nuance than power, ideal to enjoy now rather than hold much longer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grapebottle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47871824396510,"sku":null,"price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/3798\/2174\/files\/MerriamVineyardsPinotNoir_RussianRiverValley_California_USA2015.png?v=1770328228","url":"https:\/\/grapebottle.com\/products\/merriam-vineyards-pinot-noir-russian-river-valley-california-usa-2015","provider":"Grapebottle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
