Melbury originates from a spectacular property on the slopes north of Lake Hennessey, in the hills east of Rutherford.The name Melbury is in homage to an historic area in London, where the estate owners reside much of the year. Since its debut with the 1999 vintage, the consistent hallmarks of Melbury have been plush red fruits (currants, bing cherries), redolent with spice and the scent of violets. Elegance and a supple texture define the structure of this wine. The particular exposition of this rocky 7-acre hillside vineyard is southerly overlooking Lake Hennessey, allowing the vines to capture the morning sun yet moderating afternoon temperatures.

Tasted a bunch of heavy hitter Napa wines today and this was the standout. Classic style, beautiful oak profile, silky, perfect weight and balance. So nice to see an elegant wine like this showing so well.

Worst chardonnay I've ever had. No ice cubes in sight either...
