A Merry Edwards tasting of wines from the Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir, to the Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, to a single vineyard Bucher Pinot Noir, finishing with a rich, tropical Sauvignon Blanc. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ™Œ

All wines are barrel fermented, with a mix of new and aged (neutral) French Oak, depending on the site and grape ๐Ÿ‡ expression. I loved learning more about Meredith Edwards (Merry, the happy winemaker), her background, education (which includes time in France studying clones), and her groundbreaking work birthing the UCD 37 clone, used in many of her Pinot Noirs.

Merry has retired from her role of owner and winemaker at Merry Edwards @merryedwardswinery , having sold it to Roederer about a year ago, but these wines from 2018 still had Merryโ€™s touch and weโ€™re excited to taste the 2019 vintage and beyond from current winemaker Heidi von der Mehden.
