Melville Estate Pinot Noir 2021 is a medium-bodied red wine from the Sta Rita Hills of California. Produced from 100% Melville Pinot Noir from the Sta Rita Hills estate, this exceptional, Burgundy-style Californian Pinot was made with 40% whole-cluster fermentation, the remainder of the fruit being destemmed and fermented in small, open-top fermenters. "Lovely aromas of cherry pie and damp mint make for a fresh and complex nose on this estate bottling, one of the more affordable ones in the Melville lineup. The palate is firm in texture and blasted with acidity, showing black cherry, cola, mace, bay leaf and clove flavours, a classic expression of this appellation." Wine Enthusiast, 2023

Melville’s 2021 Pinot Noir Estate is bright and effusive right out of the gate. Sweet red cherry, hard candy, spice and rose petal race across the palate. A touch of whole cluster savoriness adds shades of nuance. I would give the 2021 at least a year in bottle, as it is pretty reticent today.
