Situated amongst the rolling hills of Western Santa Ynez Valley, Melville is dedicated to producing exceptional cold-climate Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Syrah grown exclusively in their estate vineyards throughout the Santa Rita Hills appellation.

The wine has aromatics of marcona almonds, lemon curd, and orange blossom honey. Secondary notes of baked filo dough, green papaya, and toasted macadamias drift in the background. Oily and tender on the palate, with a streak of vibrant acidity that maintains the wine's focus and drive.

This is the last vintage that the Melvilles are pulling from Verna’s vineyard.
