Merry Edwards Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Profile & Story

Merry Edwards developed her barrel-aged style of Sauvignon Blanc to tame the grape's innate green characteristics, and it has become among the most sought-after and critically acclaimed in California over the past two decades. The Russian River Valley bottling blends the core Sauvignon Blanc Clone 1 (Shenandoah) with a substantial portion of Sauvignon Musqué for floral lift and richer body, barrel-fermented in French oak (15% new) with twice-weekly lees stirring for five months.
