Melville Block M Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2014
...Dark red and purplish stone fruits, cherry pit and white pepper give the 2014 much of its high-toned personality. The 2014 offers lovely density and yet the whole clusters give the wine a sense of weightlessness that is hugely appealing... Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

14 drinking near peak of mature brightness and silky tannins - really balanced front to back...I really love Melville! I think it’s the most underrated winery in the US likely! Really expressive and nice pure fruit!

Ripe red fruit, earthy with herbal complexity and notable tannin structure; very likely significant stem inclusion. This has all the right pieces, but probably could have used another year in bottle to come together.

Block M has the same balance and small batch feel of Sandy's but bit broodier in a good way...love Melville and what they do. Best value wine in the region!

After Jim’s post of the ‘12, I figured I would try one of the ‘14’s. Good choice. Very earthy and fruity with that characteristic Melville lip smacking spice that makes their Pinot’s so special. This one is drinking well right now.

Took some time to open ip, but then was quite good. Probably needs a coupke of more years to really sing.

Typical light red Pinot color, licorice on the nose and black berry and peppery finish. What I didn't appreciate about this wine the bitter finish.

Black Cherry, Cherry Pie, and clove-like spice. Nice supple tannins and body
