2019 | Merry Edwards | Meredith Estate Pinot Noir

Suave and well-structured, this offers plum pastry and cherry tart flavors that show plenty of forest floor notes, with firm tannins and acidity. Engaging floral accents linger into the finish, showing lithe spiciness and richness.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2019 Pinot Noir Meredith Estate has a medium ruby-purple color. It slowly unfolds to black fruits and notes of licorice, graphite, forest floor and prosciutto. The palate is bold and lushly fruited with dark, mineral-laced fruits, a firm, fresh frame and a still youthfully wound finish.

• James Suckling: Aromas of rose petals, red cherries, plums and garden herbs. Full-bodied with fine, taught tannins. Juicy red and black fruit, paired with chicory root, allspice and nutmeg. Dark blue fruit. Well-formed intensity and depth. So structured and tannin-driven.

Producer Information

Merry Edwards Winery is a Californian estate based in the Russian River Valley of Sonoma County. It specializes in varietal wines made from Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. Merry Edwards started her winemaking career in 1974 at Mount Eden Vineyards in the Santa Cruz Mountains. In 1975, she took cuttings from a selection of Mount Eden Vineyards' Pinot Noir vines and sent them to University of California, Davis. This selection subsequently became known as UCD clone 37, or the "Merry Edwards selection". Edwards helped establish Matanzas Creek in 1977, and founded her own winery in 1997. The first vineyard, the 8 hectare (20 acre) Meredith Estate, was planted to Pinot Noir in 1998, and a second site, Coopersmith Vineyard, was established in 2001. Merry Edwards has since added several long-term leases to the portfolio, and in 2010, the estate was farming a total of 22ha (54 acres) of Pinot Noir. Merry Edwards added Sauvignon Blanc plantings to the estate vineyard portfolio in 2014 with a new property in Forestville on the lower slopes of the Meredith Estate. Merry Edwards produces an extensive collection of vineyard-designated Pinot Noir wines with Sauvingon Blanc and Chardonnay also featuring heavily.
