Winemaker: Merry Edwards
Forum Contact: Ken Coopersmith

One of California's first woman winemakers, Merry Edwards began her career at Mount Eden Vineyards in 1974. She went on to become the founding winemaker at Matanzas Creek from 1977 to 1984. For the next decade, Merry consulted for numerous wineries, large and small, in Oregon and many diverse appellations of California.

In 1997, family and friends joined Merry to found Merry Edwards Winery with a focus on producing Pinot Noirs with a sense of place from Russian River Valley and Sonoma Coast. Living her dream, she and her husband, Ken Coopersmith now manage five estate vineyards: Coopersmith, Cresta d'Oro, Flax, Georganne and Meredith. They continue collaborative relationships with several other dedicated local growers to supplement this estate production. Two regional blends and six vineyard designates are bottled. In 2001, a barrel fermented Sauvignon Blanc blend was added to the portfolio.

In 2007, Merry and Ken completed their winery facility on the site of Coopersmith Vineyard. In this new venue, private tastings are hosted to educate visitors about her handcrafted wines and site-specific viticulture. Merry's wines are available direct from the winery and in fine restaurants throughout the United States. Merry Edwards was voted #1 Most Popular Pinot Noir in the 2009 Wine & Spirits Restaurant Poll for the fourth year out of the past five.

Our Tasting Room is open seven days a week from 9:30am to 4:30pm. We are open to the public and private tastings are available by appointment.
