The Stars of the Evening: Merry Edwards’ Exquisite Selections

2021 Richaven Pinot Noir Russian River Valley
Dive into the deep end with the first of our stars, the 2021 Richaven Pinot Noir. A testament to the mastery over vineyards, this wine is a melody of warm fruit compote, dark plum, and hints of leather and black pepper. Its velvety entrance and crescendo of black cherries and dark chocolate on the palate, followed by silky tannins, make for an unforgettable tasting experience.

2020 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
Next up, the 2020 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir, a blend that sings of the Sonoma County coast’s cool embrace. Its rich elegance is a product of diverse clonal selections and vineyard sites, each sip a journey closer to the heart of Sonoma’s winemaking heritage.

2022 Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
The 2022 Anderson Valley Pinot Noir brings forward the essence of its valley – from the warmth of Boonville to the freshness of the Deep End. Blue and stone fruits meet wild berries in a dance of flavors, with a savory finish that leaves you yearning for just one more sip.

2022 Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc
A revelation in a glass, the 2022 Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc is a masterclass in balance and refreshment. Notes of Meyer lemon, lime zest, and white blossoms lead to a palate of ripe stone fruit and marzipan, all wrapped up in a silky texture punctuated by bright acidity.

2021 Olivet Lane Vineyard Russian River Valley Chardonnay
Our journey continues with the 2021 Olivet Lane Vineyard Russian River Valley Chardonnay. This wine is a celebration of heritage, offering scents of summer peaches, kiwi, and lush butterscotch, leading to a bright, juicy core and a warm, toasty finish that’s as comforting as it is invigorating.

Roederer Estate Brut
And to crown the evening, the Roederer Estate Brut stands as a testament to the elegance and celebratory spirit of sparkling wines. This selection promises to elevate the dining experience, adding a touch of effervescence and joy to the culmination of our gastronomic journey.
