Jun 10th, 2020A spectacular vintage for this wine - high alcohol but silky smooth. Elegant, with high-toned aromas of unlit Cigarillos, birch beer and dark cherries. It just coats the mouth with streusel and lavender and blood orange and... oh, the bottle’s done.

Apr 13th, 2020LOVED this Pinot from @MelvilleWinery, wish we bought more. Cherry cola, bright, roses on the nose, elegant and smooth. So enjoyable. Actually surprised it's from Sta Rita Hills.

Apr 2nd, 20172012 vintage. Classic Melville. Right balance of spice, alcohol, and cherry. Drinking well but could stand about another 6 months to a year of additional aging.
