Melville 2022 Donna's Block Syrah, Santa Rita Hills
98 Points
A Fantastic New Syrah from Melville. Limited
previous vintage 98 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "The Melville Syrah Donna's is all varietal and comes from the Melville Vineyard. Its vivid ruby/plum hue is followed by classic Syrah notes of ripe blackberries, mulberries, pepper, violets, and gamey meats. These carry to a full-bodied Syrah with ultra-fine tannins, a layered, multi-dimensional texture, and a gorgeous finish. This absolutely captivating Syrah is already impossible to resist yet is going to evolve for 15-20 years with ease. It's up with the finest vintages of this cuvée produced. Hats off to Chad Melville for a brilliant, world class Syrah!
94 Points Robert Parker: "Despite being bottled just three weeks before I tasted it, I found the 2022 Syrah Donna's Block an alluring highlight within the Melville roster. It emerges from sandy soils at Melville East and spent 24 months in 228-liter barrique. A delicate yet complex nose of red and blue fruits, purple flowers, dried cloves and nori opens up to a lush and layered palate bound by a delicious velvety richness. It concludes with a savory, saturated finish framed by focused, pleasantly drying tannins and ethereal intensity. It's a fantastic expression of Sta. Rita Hills that should age effortlessly for more than a decade."
...Hold onto your hats, as these latest releases from Chad Melville 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 Syrahs that are incredible across the board."
