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.
