Merry Edwards Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2022 Review
The Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc from Merry Edwards continues to be a stunning, standard-setting example of California Sauvignon Blanc. While some producers can be a little too heavy-handed with the oak influence when it comes to this style, this bottle finds the perfect balance between freshness and richness. It's aged on its lees for five months in 18 percent new French oak barrels, imparting a subtle vanilla note and lovely soft texture. The wine has bright aromatics of white flowers, pineapple, and lemon zest, that turn into creamy lemon curd notes on the palate.
