Merry Edwards, Sauvignon Blanc, Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California 2023

Merry Edwards began making the Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc in 2001, and the winery has lovingly reproduced this delicious wine each vintage since. Winemaker Heidi von der Mehden follows specific protocols, including fermentation in French oak barrels and twice-weekly lees stirring, to craft this aromatic, lush bottling.

The nose of the Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc features fragrant tropical aromas of white pineapple, passionfruit, mango and guava, with subtle hints of plumeria, lemon curd and lime zest. The palate is clean and bright, with accents of ruby red grapefruit, honeysuckle and ripe melon followed by a burst of crisp, refreshing acidity.
