95 Points Parker A Fantastic New Syrah from Melville. Limited previous vintage 95 Points Robert Parker: "I always love the two blockbuster Syrahs from this estate, both of which need to be sought out by readers. Tons of black olive, smoked and salted meats, as well as ripe dark fruits all emerge from the incredibly polished, elegant and layered Syrah Estate, which is just an off the hook value. Inky colored, layered, yet graceful and light on its feet, with gorgeous fruit, drink this beauty over the coming 4-5 years, although I wouldn't be surprised to see it evolve for longer... ...Hold onto your hats, as these latest releases from Chad Melville and winemaker Greg Brewer are off-the-charts good! While both of the Chardonnays are beautiful, and play in the clean, crisp and medium-bodied spectrum, it’s the Pinot Noirs and Syrahs that are incredible across the board."

The depth of the flavor profile is smoked meats. I progresses to dark plum. Old worldish!

Not an over the top huge Syrah. Milder weather region gives this more structure than most with soft tannins and black pepper flavors
