Bright nose of strawberry, cherry, along with hints of spice. The palate is surprisingly soft given how (relatively) young this is, suggesting that this may be on a fast evolutionary track. Lots of primary flavors coupled with (pretty subdued) earthy components. A great example of what St Rita Hills provides. Not the best that Melville has to offer - Block M, Terraces, and Cone 115 Indigene hold that place - but this is a great intro into one of the best wineries in California.
