Profile

The 2019 Merryvale Pinot Noir from Carneros, Napa Valley, is a distinguished expression of Pinot Noir, reflecting the elegance and complexity characteristic of the region. Sourced from select vineyards across the Carneros appellation, this wine showcases the meticulous craftsmanship of Merryvale Vineyards.

Critically acclaimed, the 2019 vintage received a 92-point rating from James Suckling, who described it as "rich and unctuous pinot with aromas of ripe strawberries, dried flowers and tanned leather that follow through to a full body with round, creamy tannins and a juicy finish." Wine Enthusiast awarded it 91 points, noting that "at first soft and broad, this wine follows a very relaxed first sip to build on the palate and offer tangy cherry and dried cranberry fruit braced by good, lightly gripping tannins." Jeb Dunnuck also rated it 90 points, highlighting its medium-bodied, supple, and elegant style with attractive red and black fruits and notes of dried herbs and earth. 

On the palate, the wine exhibits a vibrant profile with notes of red fruits such as cherry and raspberry, complemented by subtle earthy undertones and a hint of spice. The wine's medium body, balanced acidity, and fine tannins make it an excellent companion to dishes like roasted poultry, duck breast, and lamb. With an alcohol content of 13.5%, it is both approachable now and possesses the structure for graceful aging over the next 5–7 years. The 2019 Merryvale Pinot Noir exemplifies the finesse and depth that Carneros is renowned for, making it a worthy addition to any wine enthusiast's collection.
