MERRY EDWARDS

Merry Edwards was one of California’s first woman winemakers and is recognized as being an integral part of putting Russian River Pinot Noir on the map. She founded her estate in 1997 in the Sebastopol Hills then continued to assemble an impressive collection of vineyards over the next two decades. Through her meticulous attention to detail she became reknowned for crafting terroir-driven, single-vineyard Pinot Noirs. Merry retired in 2020 and sold the vineyards to 200 year old French company Champagne Louis Roederer who shared the same philosophy and approach to winemaking, making them the perfect match to carry on her legacy. Today Merry's handpicked successor, Winemaker Heidi von der Mehden continues to make wines according to Merry’s winegrowing principles. The vineyard is now Certified California Sustainable and continues producing legendary Pinot Noirs of immense depth, elegant structure and exceptional longevity.

A hint of stemmy earthiness leads the way to a luxurious, expansive and velvety palate. The acidity is edgy and fresh, lifting the savory and floral components over a rich, complex berry core.

The aroma of the 2018 Merry Edwards Sauvignon Blanc is compelling, virtually reaching out and grabbing our attention. Yellow peach, melon, guava and crisp Fuji apple are accented with hints of tropical mango and pineapple. Lime, Minneola tangelo and orange blossom lend citrus notes. Accents of dry summer grass, vanilla-toned panna cotta and toasted crème brûlée create complexity. An underlying minerality adds further sophistication. The rich palate coats the tongue balanced with hints of yummy Creamsicle and Ruby Red grapefruit. Refreshing acidity and a mouthwatering finish cap the sensual experience of this exceptional Sauvignon Blanc. Delightful now, with bottle age, this wine will be a knockout!

A pretty thread of orange water adds an aromatic lift to the core of nectarine, apricot and lemon zest flavors, set on a succulent, fleshy frame. Dried ginger, honeysuckle and melon notes linger on the long, expressive finish. From California.

The enticing profile of this elegant Pinot Noir was created by blending together individual lots made from several different clonal selections. The grapes come from diverse sites bordering the Sonoma County coast, and each vineyard is influenced by its proximity to the Pacific Ocean, which is just a few miles away. In the late afternoon, marine winds carry cool fog to blanket these sites, sometimes until late the next morning. This weather pattern lengthens the “hang time” of the grapes on the vine, allowing complex flavours to develop.

Personified as a woman, this wine would be a stylish gymnast, a poised beauty with power and grace. Our elegant and lively Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir presents beguiling charms and a strong, supple structure.

 



94 Points, Wine Enthusiast (2019 vintage)



Creamy red fruit and light stemmy spice adorn this soft, silky wine from coastal sites. It shows an opulent mouthfeel and teases of rose and forest floor. Cranberry, pomegranate and rhubarb come to mind on the palate, as full-bodied tannins and oak contrast it all.
