Tasting Notes

WE92

Melis is a project backed by wine industry folks from California, but this blend of old-vines Grenache along with Carignan, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon is very European. It's heady but well balanced, with smooth edges and not too much fiery attitude, roughness or scratchy tannins. It's forward and big-boned, but there's enough creamy richness to make it friendly. Needs plenty of air time now; should hold well for five-plus years.

W&S91

Balanced at the heights of superripeness, this wine tastes of figs and chestnuts, of the warmth of alcohol and the wild stoniness of Priorat tannin. It's massive and strong, set to match something equally powerful, such as wild boar roasted with dried fruit.
