WINE DESCRIPTION
Melville Sandy's Pinot Noir is a stunningly elegant and well-balanced red wine. Its aromas of raspberry, cherry and earthy spices are simply delightful. On the palate, the wine has a smooth, creamy texture that leads to flavors of ripe black cherry, wild strawberry, and a hint of dark chocolate. The tannins are well-integrated, allowing for a velvety finish that lingers on the tongue. This is an exquisite Pinot Noir that pairs beautifully with roast duck, grilled salmon, and grilled vegetables.

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.CUSTOMER RATING
