Melville 2021 Pinot Noir “Anna’s Block” Santa Rita Hills 97 Points

WE 97 points: “The nose on this bottling is fresh, focused, intense, and ripe. Black cherry, strawberry, and dark mint aromas are seductive and attention-snagging. The palate lands with juicy flavors of strawberry and Bing cherry, as cracked white and green peppercorn spices mix with fresh herbs to hammer home the deliciously detailed experience”

Winemaker Notes: “Anna’s Block consistently delivers brilliant red crunchy fruits, showcasing notes of fresh cranberry with a savory component of iron, dried herb, and deep earth. Concentrated, ripe tannins combined with fresh acidity surround the dense fruit, leaving you wanting another sip of this complex, balanced wine.”
