Melville Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir 2011

One of our favorite new Pinot Noir producers from Santa Barbara. Greg Brewer's touch with Pinot should be discovered by all Pinophiles!94 Points Robert Parker: "...possesses abundant amounts of boysenberry, black raspberry, forest floor, roasted herb, and subtle smoke characteristics. Rich, textured, pure, and profound, this deep Pinot has the acidity and tannin necessary to age easily for 5-8 years....Melville’s six Pinot Noir cuvees are all noteworthy. With the exception of the Verna’s Vineyard wines, which come from Los Alamos, the other five are all made from different parcels of the same vineyards in the Santa Rita Hills, with various density of plantings as well as clonal choices."100% of the fruit is from the winerie's Santa Rita Hills Estate vineyard.
