Merry Edwards Winery Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2019 Review
Winemaker Heidi von der Mehden says that this vintage produced "our sought-after Sonoma Coast style: elegant, bright acidity, red fruit, and earthy notes." This is wonderful because Merry Edwards basically innovated this style! Beautiful and soft with an elegant frame this Pinot Noir shows classic cherry notes with a unique waft of Spring garden vegetables. The palate is the height of balance for this region, with calm fruit and the right amount of natural acidity lifting the wine.
