Melville 2018 Estate Syrah, Santa Rita Hills

         A Fantastic New Syrah from Melville. Limited93 Points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2018 Syrah (Sta. Rita Hills) is very pretty and delicate. Whole clusters add striking aromatic top notes redolent of dried flowers, mint and herbs. In the glass, the Estate is gracious and light on its feet. Silky tannins add to a feeling of understatement and finesse. The 2018 is such a terrific example of how compelling Syrah can in the Sta. Rita Hills."92 Points Robert Parker:  "The 2018 Syrah Estate has a medium ruby color and bright, lifted scents of cracked pepper and mint with touches of olive and tar and a core of fresh blue and black fruits. The palate is concentrated, layered, fresh and lifted with a ripe, grainy frame and long finish." ...Hold onto your hats, as these latest releases from Chad Melville and winemaker Greg Brewer are off-the-charts good! While both of the Chardonnays are beautiful, and play in the clean, crisp and medium-bodied spectrum, it’s the Pinot Noirs and Syrah
