Melville Syrah Verna Estate 2010
The Melville Winery in the Sta. Rita Hills of California produces an exceptional cold-climate Syrah wine with grapes grown in their estate vineyard.
-
This fruity Syrah is rich in cherries, raspberries, white chocolate and spices. Syrah hardly gets more flamboyant. And yet its structure is firm and pleasant. Drink now–2016 - 92 points.
Tasting Notes
This wine from the renowned Melville Winery in California is dark ruby, brimming with nuances of black plum, wild strawberry and dried fig that merge with intriguing floral aromas of wild flower and lavender in this gracious, impeccable Syrah.
The intensely perfumed feminine finish has a sweet, almost-Pinot like register from the use of 40% whole clusters. The mouthfeel skillfully weaves this diversity together allowing the wine to remain both fresh, grippy and savoury, leaving floral and spice notes behind.
