Each and every time I opened a bottle of Paloma Mellott I remember Jim and Barbara Richard's and meeting them just as they began producing wine. Sitting on the porch with Barbara tasting some of their early Merlot watching the hummingbirds sampling the fuchsia nectar . Knew I liked it had no idea what a hit it would become 2001 wine of the year. The 2005 is still drinking well. Takes about 1/2 hour in decanter to integrate everything. This is still a big Spring Mountain merlot in the tradition of Duckworth and Pride.
