Wine Description:
Melville Donna's Syrah is cold soaked for roughly a week to extract the delicate aromatics and enhance the color. The wine is fermented using whole clusters with extended skin and stem contact to increase the tannic structure. The wine is aged in neutral barrel with the aim of polishing the tannins without imparting oak flavor.
Pros:
  • Great depth and high level of intense flavors

Wine Expert Note:

This Melville Donna's Syrah is a full-bodied, dark-fruited Syrah with aromas of ripe blackberry, chocolate, and earth. On the palate, it offers up flavors of blackberry, dark cherry, and black pepper, with a hint of smoky oak. The finish is long and lingering, with hints of dark fruit and spice all framed by the polished, velvety tannins.

El Coco has made its arrival, showcasing dark fruits, rich texture, and brooding structure that have lingered in the cellar since its debut six years ago. Adorned with a spooky boogeyman label inspired by Francisco Goya's 18th-century art, this wine has become a favorite. It embodies the decadent 'Red Blend' style, contributing to Napa's popularity. The eight-acre heritage vineyard, initially planted by George Belden Crane in the 1800s, boasts some of California's oldest Zinfandel vines. In 2012, Dave Phinney, along with friends, founded The Crane Assembly to preserve this viticultural treasure. El Coco opens with dark fruit aromatics, leading to a layered, rich palate marked by ripe plum, morel, and chocolate notes. With decanting, its hidden nuances and complexity emerge.
