Melville 2011 Terraces Estate Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills)

Country: US / Terraces Estate
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Melville / Sta. Rita Hills

Like all of Melville’s new 2011 Pinot Noirs, this bottling is powerful and forward in cherries, raspberries and Dr. Pepper cola, alongside earthier mushroom and earth notes. It’s a beautiful wine that shows the classy elegance of a well-grown Santa Rita Pinot, with brisk acids and firm but fine tannins. Drink now–2017 for maximum freshness.
