Perfect.

Hazy Ruby to the Rim.

This beauty is singing right now.
Elevated floral notes and raspberry cobbler on the nose, and her notably LIFTED palate follows exactly with bits of thyme, duff, flowers & plum.

Thumped a trio of pinots at 2-3x her price point, but no surprise here: Melville, like Calera and Brewer-Clifton and still Hitching Post, is one of the houses who does the heavy lifting to keep the following statement safely and utterly true:

“The Top Deal in Fine Wine is Californian Pinot Noir.”

The 2016 Sandys is similarly stunning.
