Merryvale is a St. Helena winery in Napa Valley run by the Schlatter family. This Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir sits in the winery's Classics tier, separate from its winery-only Sun Chase and Durell bottlings.

The fruit comes from the Sonoma Coast AVA. The 2023 was mostly destemmed, with a small portion of whole stems, fermented with native yeast in stainless steel and aged about 10 months in French oak, a good share of it new. It's 14% alcohol.

Expect dark cherry, tea and brambly fruit with red currant, cedar, lavender, clove and orange peel, over soft, velvety tannins.

Against Flowers Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast, Merryvale is the same appellation for less money; for a Sonoma Coast Pinot under $50, choose Merryvale.

Give it some time in a decanter, then serve it with roast duck, salmon or mushroom dishes.

Awards

94 Decanter
"The 2023 Pinot Noir is sourced from the Sonoma Coast, with fruit from Durell, Sunchase, and Huichica vineyards. The fruit is destemmed, with a small percentage of stems layered into stainless steel, undergoing a native fermentation, and then aged for 10 months in approximately 40% new French oak. Exhibiting more elegance and red-fruited character compared to the 2022 vintage, the wine reveals intriguing notes of smoked paprika, blood orange, and apricot, complemented by grapefruit zest and rich cedar spices. A hint of clove and incense adds depth and complexity. Medium-bodied with pure fruit character, it features fine-grained, velvety tannins that carry through to a long finish highlighted by espresso bean and cocoa nib notes. This vintage showcases a harmonious balance of freshness, texture, and complexity, making it an impressive expression of Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir."
