The 2022 Pinot Noir Estate Terraces is a blend of three parcels that are mostly west-facing. It offers generous dark fruit and the natural breadth conferred by clay-rich soils. Of note, this is the only Melville Pinot with Swan clone. Black cherry fruit, lavender, licorice, plum and gravel infuse the palate with notable depth. The 60% stems are pretty much buried by the sheer intensity of the fruit. What a gorgeous wine this is.
