The Story
Merry Edwards approaches life with graceful intensity. Now in the fifth decade of her winemaking career, Merry has earned the universal respect of winemaking peers, grape growers and academicians.
At home in the Russian River Valley since 1977, Merry Edwards has explored its hills, pockets, slopes and hollows, discovering small sites where choosing the right rootstock, clone and farming techniques can produce exceptional grapes. This led her in 1996 to purchase land in the Sebastopol Hills region of Russian River Valley.
Olivet Lane estate has been a source of luscious Chardonnay for many years. The Pellegrini family converted the apple and plum orchards that were on the site to the Wente clone in 1975. This history makes it a true heritage vineyard here in Russian River Valley. The long, cool growing season found in the Santa Rosa Plain, where the vineyard is located, allows the grapes to reach their full-flavored potential — the 2017 vintage is an excellent example!
