This is a brand-new bottling from Merry Edwards. It’s her first from Westside Road, which is warmer than her haunting grounds around the southern part of the valley. It’s quite a promising debut. The wine is round, soft, charming and complex, with elaborate cherry, blackberry, licorice and cola flavors. It feels important and ageworthy. Drink now, with several hours of decanting, or cellar through 2020. ——S.H.(2/1/2012)—— 95
