We opened this one last weekend while on vacation at the Heritage House in Mendocino - enjoyed it before dinner w/ some cheese and fresh rasberries. Melville's wine maker is Greg Brewer, one half of the Brewer ~ Clifton due of the Santa Rita Hills. Next time you're up in Santa Barbara County wine country, make sure to stop by the Melville vineyard.

The proper way to enjoy wine!

I could jog to Melville within the hour. It's a great place to visit and purchase wine from. Gainey Vineyard is consistently great with the reds- cab franc, merlot, syrah, pinot noir. Daniel Gehrs has some great ports too. I just had their 2000 vintage the other night with an unsafe amount of chocolate.

Go Santa Rita Hills!
