Merry Edwards Wines

In 1997 Merry Edwards and her partners launched Merry Edwards wines, allowing her to focus her winemaking on Russian River Valley Pinot Noir while planting her own vineyard with this seductive grape. Since the beginning of her career in 1973, Merry has longed to plant her own vineyard. She has a passion for growing things, for working the soil. “The finest wines are crafted from the ground up,” Merry says. “Meticulous and timely viticultural practices are critical when making Pinot Noir.” In 1996 she purchased twenty-four acres of sloping hillside on the southern border of Russian River Valley, intent on growing luscious Pinot Noir on this promising site. Early in 1997, Merry met entrepreneur Bill Bourke, a founding investor in Chalone and Ravenswood wineries; they formed a partnership to develop Meredith Estate vineyard and Merry Edwards wines. Bill and Merry presented their plans to a small group of founding shareholders; the business was incorporated in August of 1997, shortly before Merry began harvesting the inaugural vintage.
