Usually love Melville wines, $68 in Monkeypods wailea, 14.0 % abv but drank like it had much more alcohol, great bouquet, wine was spicy or hot, medium body, fruity but tasted of lots of wood, not sure if there is smoke taint here or too much stem, wife agreed, wine never sang to us, did not finish the bottle, not sure what JD and AG tasted, would not drink again, will stay with DDO.

Vinturied into decant and consumed over several hours. Powerful SRHs aromatics, lovely bouquet of funk along with solid earthy notes, terrific. I tried this a few months ago at the winery, and don’t remember the aromatics and funk being so dominant-did not purchase. Certainly too young now..2 years from now this will be in a beautiful spot, if you can wait! Note, This really popped after 3+ hours. Hold…drink 2025/9 Rebuy-re drink

In a vintage of considerable inconsistency this is a refreshing departure. Tense red fruit over stemmy funky Sta Rita foundation of dusty earth and herbs.
Tasty!

Red fruit, spice, and floral notes. Overall, a pleasant wine drinking well now.
