"The 2022 Pinot Noir Meredith Estate is a great example of what the Russian River does so well. Dark red/purplish fruit, leather, mocha, incense, licorice and espresso stain the palate. This potent yet expressive Pinot has a ton to offer, but I would give it a year or two in bottle. Today, the first impression is one of brooding power." Vinous 94 |
