MERRY EDWARDS RICHAVEN PINOT NOIR RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY SONOMA COUNTY 2021

The Richaven Vineyard was planted in 2015 near the vineyard that is the foundation of our winery, Meredith Estate. Using the experience we have gained over many years from Meredith Estate, we have taken our winegrowing to the next level, and the resulting wines from Richaven have fine structure and compelling tannins. This inviting vintage offers aromas of warm fruit compote, dark plum, wet stone, leather and black pepper. Velvety and concentrated on entry, this wine builds to a crescendo on the palate, offering black cherries, plum skin and dark chocolate. Silky tannins linger on the persistent finish.

Duck is a classic match with Pinot Noir, and this rich recipe for Pan-Seared Duck Breast over Sweet Pea & Bacon Risotto will make a great pairing with our elegant and structured Richaven Pinot Noir.
