  Bitter and astringent. Melville used to make great Pinot. Not anymore. Stick to the Syrah

  Tasting Room visit. Bright cranberry & pomegranate fruit aromas, white pepper, hibiscus, fresh herb. Fresh and succulent red fruit palate, with mineral and spices and fresh florals. Nice elegance, lithe texture. Fresh acidity, fine tannins and lingering zest on the finish

  Beautifully composed, every piece in its place. Strawberry, rose petals, sage, a delicate red-fruited and floral bouquet, open for business. Mid-weight, fresh red fruit, green tea, silken texture, round but not fat mid-palate. Finishes on tea and raspberry notes, with an increasingly savory tone. Juniper maybe, there is an interesting botanical spirit undertone, in balance with the profile. Lengthy, peacock tail finish, mild tannins provide excellent balance and potential, high delicious factor.
  
  Drink or hold, not cheap, but worth the price to my taste.

  Lowest stem inclusion at 20%. Bold fruit, darker and less savory. Crunchy red fruit to the palate. And yup, that is quite vibrant acidity. Tart on the palate.
