($39): With a forty year history of working with Pinot Noir, it’s no surprise that Merry Edwards is one of California’s star producers of that varietal.  While her single vineyard bottlings show the diversity of sites, this one from the Sonoma Coast is a great introduction to her engaging style.  Brimming with cherry-like flavors, this bright wine has substantial weight balanced by mild suave tannins.  More fruit-focused than her single vineyard offerings, it would enhance a roast chicken with a mushroom sauce very nicely.
