Merry Edwards Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

Since 1970, Merry Edwards has been considered a trailblazer whose contributions have helped shape the American wine industry. Today her legacy carries on—Winemaker Heidi von der Mehden and Winery President Nicole Carter honor her accomplishments every day, sharing Merry’s fierce determination and uncompromising commitment to quality.

This appellation blend is at the core of our portfolio of wines and offers a complete portrait of the Russian River Valley. Five different clones grown in a variety of vineyards were individually fermented to produce the distinctive lots chosen for this wine.

We first notice the beautiful garnet color followed by fragrances of vanilla cola, black raspberry, fresh thyme and plum compote. On entry, the mouthfeel is soft and lush, with notes of black cherry, plum, cassis and milk chocolate. Juicy acidity bonds with structured tannins and lifts the long, spicy finish.

For a delicious match, we suggest trying Grilled Wild Salmon with Roasted Beet and Arugula Salad. Wine Country Chef John Ash created this salmon dish, which pairs so well with Pinot Noir, using beautiful baby beets. Try it with this vintage of Russian River Valley Pinot Noir and enjoy a celebration of spring at your table!
