2022 Merry Edwards Sauvignon Blanc Russian River Valley

Winemaker's Notes: The special care they take to bring out the very best in this variety shows in their results. They use a specific mix of clones – two-thirds Shenandoah (Clone 1) and one-third Sauvignon Musqué – that results in a wine brimming with floral and tropical fruit aromatics with a citrusy, juicy core. Barrel fermentation and twice weekly lees stirring help us create the characteristic creamy texture and rich body that you’ve come to know and share with your friends and family.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Wine Spectator - "A stunning white, this leaps out of the glass with aromatic mango, orange blossom and salted ripe melon flavors. Gains complexity from grilled peach, lemon oil, savory litsea oil and toasted herb elements, with a fleshy, creamy texture and fresh acidity. "


Tasting Panel - "Barrel fermented and aged sur lie for five months in (18% new) French oak, this wine glistens with Meyer lemon and honeydew. Pineapple, gardenia, and sweet basil line the palate, lending zing to a finish of salty minerality. "
