It is a joint venture of winemaker Merry Edwards and Ken Coopersmith, her husband. The winery’s journey began when Merry visited her home in the Russian River Valley. It allowed her to explore the region’s pockets, hollows, slopes, and hills. During her adventures and surveys, she discovered various small sites. These plots had hidden potential. They could produce superior-quality grapes with the appropriate farming techniques and grapevine varieties. In 1997, Merry transformed the property she explored and turned it into a business undertaking. It allowed for the birth of the winery. Merry chose a few Pinot Noir grape varieties from the Russian River Valley to plant in the Coopersmith Vineyard. The couple gained the necessary experience and knowledge from their past as a guest, invited to various other wineries. By 2007, Merry Edwards turned their total harvest and grape yield into production inside the winery. In 2008, the estate opened its doors to visitors. Two years later, Merry Edwards expanded to accommodate and house the growing demand for the Sauvignon Blanc wines. It came up due to the exponential success of the variety’s barrel-fermentation approach and program. The vineyards owned by Merry Edwards are some of the best of the appellation of the Russian River Valley. The parcels experience and enjoy the ‘dramatic’ diurnal variation of the region. It promotes and facilitates the slow ripening and maturation of the grapes. The closeness of the Pacific Ocean allows for significant temperature swings. In addition, it produces refreshing and cold wind currents and persistent morning fog. They are highly beneficial for the growth of the grapevines. Overall, the wines produced by Merry Edwards are an intricate combination and blend of scientific training, grace, spirit, lasting impression, and artistic vision.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-03-15T11:57:33-04:00","created_at":"2023-02-27T11:10:19-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_United States","LK2702","Other_Wine","Producer_Merry Edwards","Region_California","Source_Continental0223","Type_White Wine","Varietal_Sauvignon Blanc"],"price":23495,"price_min":23495,"price_max":23495,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42807612637322,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2020 | Merry Edwards | Sauvignon Blanc","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":23495,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/24_e8d33f9f-1630-4731-a8b8-89f56d1492c8.jpg?v=1677514375"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/24_e8d33f9f-1630-4731-a8b8-89f56d1492c8.jpg?v=1677514375","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2020 | Merry Edwards | Sauvignon Blanc at CaskCartel.com","id":24298791993482,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.41,"height":576,"width":236,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/24_e8d33f9f-1630-4731-a8b8-89f56d1492c8.jpg?v=1677514375"},"aspect_ratio":0.41,"height":576,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/24_e8d33f9f-1630-4731-a8b8-89f56d1492c8.jpg?v=1677514375","width":236}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eWhite Wine: 2020 | Merry Edwards | Sauvignon Blanc\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis golden, straw-colored wine offers up appealing aromas of creme brulee, citrus blossom and vanilla bean, as well as Asian pear, pineapple and golden delicious apple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder from the Largest \u0026amp; Most Trusted Premium Spirits Marketplace! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatured in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROLLING STONE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMEN'S JOURNAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUS WEEKLY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTICE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Many other small liquor store sites may end up cancelling your order due to the high demand, unavailability or inaccurate inventory counts.  We have partnerships consisting of a large network of licensed retailers from within the United States, Europe and across the world ensuring orders are fulfilled.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Merry Edwards\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRatings: \u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003eWA\u003c\/span\u003e | 92 \u003cspan color=\"#ff2a00\" style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e JS\u003c\/span\u003e | 94\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVintage\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2020\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Sauvignon Blanc\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\/Region:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e United States, California\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetailed Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis golden, straw-colored wine offers up appealing aromas of creme brulee, citrus blossom and vanilla bean, as well as Asian pear, pineapple and golden delicious apple.
