Merry Edwards Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2020 Review
Merry Edwards is a legacy winery in Sonoma. If you drive by Sabastapol, you can’t miss the tasting room right off the main road. Focusing on terroir-driven Pinot Noir from its inception, they have since expanded to Chardonnay and eventually Sauvignon Blanc. This bottle is a very unique example of this grape. It’s more heady than light. There is an earthiness to the nose with a deep waxy vibe. There are some floral notes as well, but they are subtle. That earthiness brings some weight on the palate, which is balanced by solid acidity.
