Sauvignon Blanc grown in Russian River Valley leans richer and more textural than the crisp, herbaceous versions the grape is known for in cooler zones, and this 2024 bottling from Merry Edwards is a California white in that fuller mode. It comes from a warm growing season, which tends to favor ripe, forward fruit.
Apricot, peach, and white flowers lead, with a mineral streak of slate and chalk running underneath. Tropical notes arrive behind the orchard fruit and lend an exotic lift. The warmth of the year pushes the ripe fruit to the front and softens the sharper varietal edges, making for a pretty, generous style that shows well now.

The 2024 Sauvignon Blanc (Russian River Valley) is a very pretty wine. Apricot, peach, slate, white flowers and chalk open first, followed by tropical overtones that add an exotic touch. The warmer style of the year exalts forward fruit while pushing varietal character into the background just a touch. (Vinous, January 2026)
