Tasting notes
With a pretty, dark red-blue hue, this wine opens with lifted fruit punch aromatics of black raspberry, black cherry, fig and watermelon. Spice nuances of pink peppercorns, oolong tea, iron and sesame seed follow. This wine balances the complexity with feminine grace as hints of purple flowers and hibiscus radiate while also yielding to oceanic themes of sand and iodine. These aspects manifest cohesively on the palate bolstering its presence with significant texture and verve.

 

Melville blev startet tilbage i 1996 hvor Ron Melville som oprindeligt kom fra Sonoma hvor han dyrkede kvalitetsvin baseret på chardonnay, merlot og cabernet sauvignon.
Ønsket om at dyrke pinot noir og chardonnay fik ham til at anlægge et vineri i Sta. Rita Hills.
Ron Melville og hans 2 sønner Chad og Brent Melville, besluttede sig til at udvikle deres estate vinmarker og deres vineri. Siden da, har de også udviklet en interesse i rhone druerne og specielt i syrah og viognier.
Melville's vinmager er ingen ringere end Greg Brewer, som også sammen med Steve Clifton har kultvineriet Brewer-Clifton. Greg er af Robert Parker blevet listet som en 1 de 3 bedste amerikanske vinmager, (2001 udgaven af The Wine Advocate).

97 Melville 2007 Carrie’s Pinot Noir

(Sta. Rita Hills); $52. Combines a delicate, floral lightness with a potent intricacy to produce a wine of vast intellectual interest. Dry and somewhat tannic, and crisp in tangy acidity, this small-production Pinot features tiers of tart red cherries, rosehip tea, cola, mint, lavender, anise and pepper, edged with the honeyed sweetness of smoky, glazed oak. A tremendous achievement, and the wine of the vintage. Editors’ Choice.
