Highly translucent in the glass, this new Pinot release from Melville is a pale shade of ruby. After a few swirls, the wine comes alive with a fruit-driven nose carried by red cherries and pomegranate nuanced by notes of rooibos tea and cinnamon before trailing out with notes of red roses and earth. On the palate, the wine delivers as expected and is well balanced by soft, tea-like tannins and a delicate acidity that carry through on the persistent, cherry-driven finish. This is a guaranteed crowd pleaser… put it out with a cheese plate and let everyone enjoy their evening. It could go for up to another decade in the cellar but it drinks nicely now.
