I felt it appropriate to taste and post on this tonight.
Today I read that she has sold the winery.
To Merry Edwards: Congratulations to you and your husband.
Having had many of her wines and also my wife meeting her in 2018 at CBCC made me feel that I was as close to the royalty in the wine industry as one could get. I wish I could have met her.
Good luck in you in your next chapter Merry, you have left the industry better than you found it. This is the highest achievement in wine making.
Now for the wine. I have held this bottle for almost 2 years and I must say I think it has improved. Slightly chalky but a present lemon fruit followed by kiwi, some mango, and apple. Sharp at the start, creamy mid palette and worth finding.

This wine has been produced since 2010. 40% new French oak. Milky drumsticks, tingly nose, dried pineapple. Warm, smooth. 20 barrels produced. Excellent, but I prefer her Sauvignon Blanc. 14.3%, $66.

Medium nose shows lemon peel, white flowers, yellow flowers, nice there, limestone, field grass, cinnamon. Palate is expressive, full bodied with creamy mouthfeel, layers of Meyer lemon, vanilla, light spice, baking spice, orange peel, medium plus alcohol, medium acidity, then the finish is loooong, really shines there. Nice CA style but restrains itself also. Very high quality.

Never had her Chardonnay, only the Sauv Blanc. Amazing!
