Tasting Notes

WA93

More pure and energetic than the straight Sta. Rita Hills release, the 2013 Pinot Noir Clone 115 Indigene offers a medium-bodied, elegant and beautifully balanced style to go with classic Sta. Rita Hills spice, savory herbs, dusty soil and sweet black cherry fruits. About as classic as it gets from the region, with nicely integrated acidity and a great finish, it`s hard to resist already, but should cruise for 7-8 years in the cellar.

V92

A deep, rich wine, the 2013 Pinot Noir Clone 115 Indigène shows the darker side of Pinot in its dark red and blue-hued fruit. Mint, cinnamon and violets are woven throughout, adding layers of nuance and complexity. The broad, ample finish is striking. The Clone 115 is the only Melville Pinot that is made from fully destemmed fruit.
