2008 Merriman Pinot Noir Rose

($18) Dark pink. Tangerine and strawberry on the nose. Midweight, vaguely warm red berry flavors are nicely concentrated and supple, turning sweeter with air while maintaining good focus. Rich, fleshy and deep enough to stand up to rich fish or poultry dishes, even strong cheeses and salty cured meats.

2007 Merriman Pinot Noir

($50) Light, bright red. Sexy aromas of red berries, cherry and wilted rose. Firm, slightly bitter cherry and berry skin flavors are nicely focused and pick up zesty minerality with air.

2006 Merriman Pinot Noir

($50) Deep red color. Ripe cherry and dark berries on the nose, with a note of cocoa gaining strength. Rich, palate-coating cherry and blackberry liqueur flavors are framed by velvety tannins and pick up a bitter chocolate note on the back end. A rich, chewy rendition of pinot that finishes with surprising energy and mineral bite. This would work well with grilled duck.
