title: Merry Edwards 2012 Olivet Lane Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
description: Ripe fruit and oak loom large in this wine, produced from relatively old vines in the heart of the appellation, long a source for the producer's Pinot Noir. Preserved lemon, fleshy melon and caramel dance around each other, steeped in Golden Delicious apple, honey and pear. A high wire of acidity marks the finish.
variety: Chardonnay
designation: Olivet Lane
