WINE DESCRIPTION

Melville Anna's Block Pinot Noir is a premium red wine produced by the Melville winery in the Sta. Rita Hills appellation of California's Santa Barbara County. The wine is made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes grown on the Anna's Block Vineyard, which is known for its well-draining soils and cool ocean breezes that help to create ideal growing conditions for the grapes. The wine is aged in French oak barrels, which helps to impart rich flavors of dark cherry, blackberry, and spice, along with a smooth and velvety texture. The wine has a medium body and a long, elegant finish, making it a popular choice among Pinot Noir lovers.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Aromas of red cherries, baking spices, and a hint of tobacco leaf introduce this bold and complex Pinot Noir from Melville's Anna's Block.On the palate, the wine is filled with ripe blackberries, a touch of earthiness, and polished tannins that carry through a long and juicy finish. This is a terrific example of a bold and age-worthy Pinot Noir.

ORIGINS

Winery: Melville

Region: Central Coast California

The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States. The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.
