She went on to become the founding winemaker at Matanzas Creek in 1977 and remained there until 1984. For the next decade, Merry consulted for numerous wineries, large and small, in Oregon and many diverse appellations of California.
One of the most finicky yet rewarding grapes to grow, Pinot Noir is a labor of love for many. However, the greatest red wines of?Burgundy?prove that it is unquestionably worth the effort. In fact, it is the only red variety permitted in Burgundy. Highly reflective of its terroir, Pinot Noir prefers calcareous soils and a cool climate, requires low yields to achieve high quality and demands a lot of attention in the vineyard and winery. It retains even more glory as an important component of?Champagne?as well as on its own in?France?s?Loire Valley?and?Alsace?regions. This sensational grape enjoys immense international success, most notably growing in?Oregon,?California?and?New Zealand?with smaller amounts in?Chile,?Germany?(as Sp?tburgunder) and?Italy?(as Pinot Nero).
