Melville 2008 Carrie Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir
I ordered a glass of this wine for the first time when dining at the Los Olivos Cafe for my birthday. I had parpadelle pasta with radish and peas, but my friend's chicken marsala was the star of the night. The wine was the highlight for me personally. The next day we went to Melville's Vineyard and got a bottle, but alas, the bottle didn't seem as delicious as the first glass. Could of been a bad bottle or we left it too warm on the wine rack before opening it.
Dark fruits of blackberry and cherry infused with notes of chocolate and coffee. Would recommend this vineyard, all the wines we tasted were wonderful.
