2019 Merry Edwards Olivet Lane Vineyard Chardonnay Russian River Valley

Winemaker's Notes: This golden, straw-colored wine glistens in the glass as the vibrant, aromatic nose offers notes of Meyer lemon curd, golden delicious apple, white peach, pineapple, crème brûlée and toasted hazelnuts. A rich and round mouth-feel on entry is supported by perfectly balanced acidity. A touch of lime and other citrusy notes linger on the finish.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "The 2019 Chardonnay Olivet Lane has pure, pretty scents of golden apples and pears, saline and Meyer lemon, with undertones of baker's yeast, chamomile and beeswax. The medium-bodied palate is pure and energetic, balancing a rounded, plush texture and bright, refreshing acidity, and it has a long, fragrant finish. Lovely! "


Wine Enthusiast - "This is a lovely, whole-cluster pressed wine aged sur lie for nine months and aged in French oak, only 38% of it new. From the longtime vineyard source, it offers balanced acidity and a stone-fruit-led richness that delves into freshly cut pear and just a hint of nut and spice."
