Worthy of a Special Occasion

2012 Melville, Pinot Noir Estate, Santa Rita Hills

Having visited this winery at least a dozen times in the past, I had to try the latest release of this wine. During one of the visits we were able to tour the barrel room behind the tasting room. It was there I was able to see the dedication and pride they put into their wines.

The 2012 Estate Pinot Noir is medium in color and very expressive in aroma and flavor. The palate is full of red fruits and spices. This wine is still young but very drinkable now. I have 2 more bottles that I will open over the 2014 holidays.

This wine should be readily available now in the $30 price range. The wine critic ratings are just being published and will likely cause this to sell out quickly.
