An iconic, fruit-forward and refreshing expression of sauvignon blanc. Aromas of apricots, nectarines, pineapple and green mangoes. The palate shows honeydew melon and green apples, with tender sweetness in the finish balanced by bright, juicy acidity. This is a wonderful summertime favorite.

The Russian River Valley bottling from Merry Edwards continues to be a stunning, standard-setting example of California Sauvignon Blanc. Barrel fermented in French oak, this wine is on the fuller-side, but is still zippy enough to keep it refreshing. The palate bursts with tropical fruit like pineapple and passion fruit with notes of lime zest and grapefruit that add freshness. The oak aging adds a layer of vanilla and a rounded mouthfeel.

From the winery's flagship vineyard planted in 1997, this is a complex and delectable wine. So much umami on the nose—black olives and soy with dark fruit underneath. On the palate there’s richness, refreshing acidity and tension, with flavors of bitter chocolate and juicy oranges in the long finish.

A distinctive white, with fleshy mango, peach and apricot flavors at the core, plus notes of candied ginger, lemon curd and candied kumquat. Floral details, herbal accents and a drizzle of honey linger on the finish. Drink now.
