I agree with notes from @Ron R The bouquet just explodes out of the glass. On the palate, this is clean, crisp, and perfectly balanced. Just a wonderful chardonnay. — 4 years ago

Tough to get you something you haven’t tried before, @David L. But Anne-Marie and I were delighted you enjoyed this.

Ray Vanderhoff

9.0

This is a second label Sauternes. Deep straw color. 65% Semillon and 35% Sauvignon Blanc. Intense nose that features raisins, pear, vanilla and a bit of citrus. Just a bit of a floral note. Dense ripe fruit and honey flavors. Hint of oak. Mouth coating texture. Nice way to end the day. Thank You for sharing Ron B! — 2 years ago

Nice one for trying this, @Paul T- Huntington Beach. I have some 03 and 05 in storage. I’ll gift you one, when I find em. These need age, but I think they show well in their youth.

Paul T HB

They do, wasn’t disappointed.

Ron R

Actually, let me correct my statement... I meant to say that they are even better with 7 - 10 years and above under their belt. Up and down their portfolio, their wines are all primo.

Estate Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2014

Sipping Fine Wine

8.9

In 1989, Melville Vineyards, was founded in Sonoma, where Ron Melville grew high quality, Chard, Merlot, and Cab Sauv. In 1996, Ron's desire to grow Pinot Noir brought Melville Vineyards to Lompoc's Sta. Rita Hills, in Santa Barbara County. Ruby with aromas of sweet red fruits and vivid spice. Flavors of raspberry and strawberry, currant like, adding cinnamon and leathery notes. Fine tannins, long ending with nice mouthfeel bringing back fruit and subtle spice. Drink now starting to lose luster! — 4 years ago
