Merry Edwards 2013 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
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. 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. Living her dream, she and her husband, Ken Coopersmith, now manage five estate vineyards: Coopersmith, Cresta d’Oro, Flax, Georganne and Meredith. They maintain collaborative relationships with several other dedicated growers to supplement their estate production. Be sure to visit the Merry Edwards website for some fine recipes.
Had this at a restaurant, went well with the Sushi Grade Tuna I ordered! A blend from 5 different Sonoma Coast Vineyards. Deep ruby with black fruit aromas and earthy spice notes. On the palate, raspberry, black cherry and plum flavors, rich and complex with integrated spice and oak. Fine smooth tannins with good balance of acidity has plenty of room to last. Lingering finish, an outstanding wine.
Cheers!
