Wine Enthusiast Review
Rated 94
CELLAR SELECTION
Deeply colored in the glass, this wine explodes with crushed black cherry, raspberry and quince aromas. The palate is structured, with a wealth of powerful tannin balanced by orange peel acidity and flavors of macerated Bing cherry compote, cardamom, sassafras and black pepper. This should blossom wonderfully with just a few years in the cellar.

Merry Edwards Richaven Russian River Pinot Noir 2021

Deep, structured, and vineyard-driven. The 2021 Richaven Pinot Noir comes from Merry Edwards' estate vineyard in the Sebastopol Hills, a cool, fog-influenced site planted in 2015 on Goldridge sandy loam. This vintage shows powerful fruit, vibrant acidity, and layered spice, earning multiple 92–94 point critical reviews.
