This bottling shows the lighter side of Klopp Ranch, which is probably best known as one of Merry Edwards’ go to sites for brooding, dark side Pinot. Here, a perfect pick showcases lively cherry fruit, powdery spice and cardamom aromas that translate well to palate flavors. It finishes bright and lingers long with the cherry in sharp focus. This will be perfect with salmon or other fish dishes.
