Merry Edwards "Olivet Lane" Chardonnay, Sonoma, California, 2017

Merry Edwards Winery was founded in 1997 and produces critically acclaimed terroir-driven Pinot Noirs and Sauvignon Blanc using site-specific viticulture in the Russian River Valley and Sonoma Coast appellations. Now a Certified California Sustainable Winery, the brand entered a new chapter. This golden, straw-colored wine offers up appealing aromas of crème brûlée, citrus blossom and vanilla bean, as well as Asian pear, pineapple and golden delicious apple. In the mouth, it is rich with well-integrated oak and perfect underpinnings of acidity. Delightful lemon meringue, lightly toasted almonds, orange zest and floral notes linger throughout the lengthy finish.
