  May 15, 2017 - Paired with an 02 in an all-pinot tasting and generally preferred by the group for better integrated flavors and dark, earthy fruit. Good showing.

  April 30, 2017 - Dark red. Earthy dark fruit, very concentrated, notes of cedar, spice and tobacco. Delicious concentrated flab ours and a long dry finish. Could still improve.

  June 22, 2010 - My last 2003 and roughly 2 years since I drank an 03 Terraces. Much of what I commented on in the 2008 note has changed, with the wine seeming to soften both the whole cluster, as well as meld the parts. This is a dark wine, so don't look for pale red in color--more syrah in color than pinot. Has the signature Melville bouquet, which I have always enjoyed and continue to appreciate: lifted, precise with a hint still of stems and perfumey. The palate is full weight, with lots of ripe plum, blueberry and a good dose of pine needle. A bit chunky due to the weight and texture but the alcohols seem very well managed here. A big, fruity wine with lots of guts and flavor but surely not delicate.
