Merry Edwards Winery was founded in 1997 and produces terroir-driven, single-vineyard Pinot Noirs, including the winery flagship Meredith Estate, from 80 acres of certified sustainable estate vineyards in the Russian River Valley. The wines are produced with respect for the land using site-specific viticulture, adhering to the winegrowing tradition begun by legendary winemaker Merry Edwards and carried on by her successor, Heidi von der Mehden.

After a recent acquisition, the winery is now under the ownership of Maison Louis Roederer in France. Maison Louis Roederer has remained an independent, family-owned company and is now managed by Frédéric Rouzaud, who represents the seventh generation of the family's lineage. The family and its wineries are focused on estate-based wineries and vineyard practices that always start with land stewardship to craft the highest quality wines.
