Aromas of candied bacon, black fruits, and ripe plum. Smooth with low tannins, medium to high acidity with long lasting soft finish.

2019 Chardonnay- 90 points W.S.

A freshly sliced pineapple aroma mingles with notes of mildly earthy daisies and freshly cut grass in a most inviting way. The wine's buttery lemon-tart and almond flavors are a nice match for a creamy texture and gentle acidity.

2020 Riesling-

The grapes for this wine were grown with the morning side of the canopy exposed to the direct sunlight to develop a softer acidity and ripe flavors. The appearance is a faint straw coloring.

There is a similarity between a bright green apple and classic Riesling petrol varietal flavor.  This wine is able to be off dry to achieve balance to the lower acidity that we naturally achieve in the vineyard.   There is a long-lasting mouthwatering finish.   100% stainless steel.  Melrose Vineyard.

2021 Melrose Pinot Noir-     New Release      90 Points W.E.

The grapes were grown with full sun exposure for all of the full-bodied and ripeness possible.  Dark burgundy in color and aroma is a combination of cherry jam and a hand full of caramel-coated Spanish peanuts.  The flavors are tarter with cranberries fighting not-so-ripe raspberries for supremacy.  Tiny traces of roasted pork, lemon and cumin show up on the long finish. Pairs well with food.   20% whole cluster.  6 months French oak.   Melrose Vineyard Wind Machine Rows.

2020 Pinotage-   Limited Release

This grape originated in S.A. as a cross pollination between Pinot Noir and Cinsault.  Here we refine the wine in the cellar by pressing off the skins early to avoid over extracting. The result is a wonderful wine that has a potpourri and berry aroma.  The palate has notes of pomegranate and raspberry with an unmistakable velvet soft full body.   Neutral French oak for 5 months.  Melrose Vineyard / Southfork Vineyard.
