A Milestone for Merry Edwards Winery
Nestled in the breathtaking Russian River Valley of Sonoma, Merry Edwards Winery has reached a remarkable milestone: 25 years of crafting world-renowned Pinot Noir. Established in 1997 by the trailblazing winemaker Merry Edwards, the winery has always stood for excellence and innovation in winemaking. Today, under the skilled hands of Winemaker Heidi von der Mehden, this legacy continues as they unveil their first single-vineyard Sauvignon Blanc from the picturesque Meredith Estate.
Unveiling the First Single-Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc
In a bold move that signifies both tradition and exploration, Merry Edwards has launched its inaugural single-vineyard Sauvignon Blanc, sourced from a carefully monitored two-acre plot at Meredith Estate. This Sauvignon Blanc is an exquisite blend of purity, complexity, and extractive fruit notes that have previously formed part of a broader Russian River Valley blend. Heidi’s meticulous attention to detail during vintage harvesting has transformed these grapes into a wine that truly embodies its roots.
Celebrating a Legacy: The 25th Anniversary Pinot Noir
The 2022 Merry Edwards 25th Anniversary Pinot Noir reflects the essence of the winery's journey. A blend from several prime vineyard blocks, the wine tells the story of Merry’s transformative influence in the world of winemaking. Tasting the rich flavors of black cherry, raspberry, cola, and dark chocolate, wine lovers can experience a history written in every sip.
Flavor Profiles That Tell a Story
Heidi von der Mehden has beautifully captured the essence of each wine in the current lineup, making each bottle a summit of experiences. The 2023 Merry Edwards Meredith Valley Sauvignon Blanc enthralls with its notes of stone fruit, citrus, and honeydew. Meanwhile, the collection includes the 2022 Merry Edwards Olivet Lane Chardonnay, vibrant with floral and tropical notes, inviting those who savor it to explore further. And let’s not forget other highlights like the Richaven Pinot Noir, a personal favorite, boasting notes of cocoa and tea.
