Intensely aromatic and powerfully structured, with satiny mouthfeel, the Merry Edwards style is uniquely complex. It takes meticulous attention to detail, from the vineyard to the cellar, to achieve this.
— Heidi von der Mehden, Winemaker

Aromatics & Flavor

Whether red or white, Merry Edwards Winery is renowned for wines with intense aromatics and rich flavor. We use exacting farming methods in our vineyards to grow the most flavorful, fragrant fruit, and we tailor our winemaking practices to coax the best from each lot.

Texture

Wine appreciation goes beyond aromas and flavors. Our structured Pinot Noirs are notable for their firm tannins as well as their remarkable silkiness on the palate. Our Sauvignon Blanc ferments in barrels, and Heidi employs a twice-weekly lees-stirring regime, which produces an unusually sumptuous texture.

Color & Style

Merry always said that wine should “look delicious.” She selected small-berried vine clones (cultivars) to optimize skin-to-juice ratio. In the winery, we pull as much pigment as possible from those skins via lengthy cold soaks. The result: gorgeous, saturated, jewel-toned color that makes a memorable first impression.
