title: Merry Edwards 2013 Flax Vineyard Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
description: This is a Westside Road site known for its rocky soils, and the wine presents sassafras, cherry-berry and roses on the entry before laying down a tightly woven mix of sour, salty cranberry and blood orange. It is softly voluptuous and velvety, though young, with a biting chewiness that should mellow in the cellar. Drink now through 2028.
variety: Pinot Noir
