New release!                                                               
Rare single-vineyard release from cult Pinot producer Merry Edwards - limited.

95 Points James Suckling: "Very Russian River with dried dark fruit, some bark and orange peel with a minty note. Full-bodied with plenty of polished tannins and a focused finish. Same character on the palate as the nose. Cabernet lovers will love this. Solid. Better in two or three years.”

94 Points Wine Enthusiast "Cellar Selection": "Almost irresistible for its lavish spices and rich fruits, this deep and expansive wine is memorably flavorful and complex. Cinnamon, cedar, cloves and balsam complement vibrant red cherries, rich black cherries and mulled plums as a full body and moderate tannins give it significant heft in the texture."

93 Points Wine Enthusiast: "This vineyard is adjacent to the winery, just
west of the Laguna de Santa Rosa, where founder Merry Edwards and her husband, Ken
Coopersmith, planted close to ten acres of pinot noir in 2001. Twenty years on, those vines gave a light, fresh wine that deepens and darkens, growing big, rich and smoky in the end. Fragrant woodland scents seem to follow the fruit maturing from green to brown to black.”

One of California's first woman winemakers, Merry Edwards began her career at Mount Eden Vineyards in the Santa Cruz Mountains in 1974. She went on to become the founding winemaker at Matanzas Creek in 1977 and remained there until 1984. For the next decade, Merry consulted for numerous wineries, large and small, in Oregon and many diverse appellations of California. In 1997, family and friends joined Merry to found Merry Edwards Winery, with a focus on producing Pinot Noirs with a sense of place from Russian River Valley and Sonoma Coast. In 2008, she and her husband, Ken Coopersmith, completed their winery on the site of Coopersmith Vineyard. It was then expanded in 2010. In this venue, tastings are hosted to educate visitors about Merry's handcrafted wines and site-specific viticulture.
