Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
After a couple months of hiatus, the Friday City Club group was able to get back together (albeit a smaller, more spread out group) for an epic hosting by @joe leatherwood . 1 sparkler, 2 whites, 5 reds and 1 dessert wine, all served blind.
A palate revitalizer after the reds! Like a shot of vitamin C to your taste buds. Apricot, ripe peach, and mango all drizzled in orange blossom honey. Didn’t have the nuttiness of Sauternes but there was really nice acidity here. I called this late harvest Cali SB/semillon.

Late Harvest. Unexpected highlight. Amazing. Nice acid.

I like everything Merry Edwards and this was not an exception. First time trying and hit all the right spots. Honeyed fruit without being cloying or too heavy. I'll get this again and more than one.

This is an incredible dessert wine. Sweet stone fruits, particularly apricot. A real crowd pleaser.

Ripe peach, apricot, and honey with thick, syrupy mouthfeel.

Apr 9th, 2016Right up there with some of the great Sauternes I've had. Surprisingly delicious and well balanced, considering this is among the first late harvest Sav Blanc Merry has produced.
