Expert Reviews
Grapes are de-stemmed and cold-soaked for five days, then aged for nine months in 37% new French oak. This is the flagship wine of the estate, and the first wine Merry Edwards ever produced. Roughly 60% of the fruit is estate-grown, with the balance sourced from growers, predominantly from the Laguna Ridge and Sebastopol Hills. The wine is incredibly delicious, showing a vibrant red-fruited character layered with Indian spice nuances and ultra-fine, powdery tannins. A long line of crushed stone minerality runs through the palate, finishing with a distinctly saline mineral edge. Bright, expressive, and complex, it captures both energy and finesse in equal measure.
The 2023 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley matured for nine months in 37% new French oak. It has slowly unfurling scents of cranberry, rhubarb, Earl Grey tea leaves, forest floor and dried herbs. The full-bodied palate offers concentrated, autumnal flavors. It’s structured by fine-grained tannins and mouthwatering acidity and has a long, layered finish. 6,640 cases were made.
