History
Merry Edwards launched her namesake label only after a small group of avid collectors begged her to go solo. In her role as winemaker for prominent producers such as Mt. Eden Vineyards and Matanzas Creek Winery in the 1970s and '80s, Merry garnered much critical acclaim, which she parlayed into a prosperous career as a consulting winemaker. A small group of these collectors convinced her to strike out on her own, backing up their support with a seed investment. Since 1970, Merry Edwards has been considered a trailblazer whose contributions have helped shape the American wine industry. Today her legacy carries on—Winemaker Heidi von der Mehden and Winery President Nicole Carter honor her accomplishments every day.
