Chad Melville became the wine maker when his father ended his involvement. Melville used to hire a Winemaker that made amazing wine. Melville wine now is TERRIBLE! Syrah better than the astringent Pinot. If Chad wants to make French wine he should move to France!

Melville is not making good Pinot anymore. I'm a club member but now I change all the Pinot for Syrah. I may just quit the club as Chad doesn't want to hear this. He is trying to make wine as though he's in France. He should just move to France.
Melville used to make great Pinot. Now, not so much. The Pinot is astringent. Bitter. Not easy to drink. To get the high ratings they must be paying to get them. Their Syrah is still great, so stick to it!
