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.

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.

2016 Merlot-

This wine has a tinge of regal color due to is fine age.    The aroma is fresh and intense with ripe plum and cassis fruits with a subtle hint of eucalyptus.   On the palate, the ripe profiles have assimilated a soft medium body with layers of complexity.  15% Heavy toasted American Oak and 85% neutral French oak barrels for 13 months.  Melrose Tasting Room Block / Last vintage from Iverson Block.

2018 Syrah-  

This wine was made from co-fermenting 2% viognier skins with 20% whole clusters.  This jammy dark red wine has layers of fruit complexity on the aroma and palate with the unmistakable cracked pepper expression.  The soft tannin with crisp mid palate allows for an incredible wine with a backbone.   French oak barrels for 9 months.   Melrose Tasting Room Block / Southfork Vineyard
