Melville Estate Sta. Rita Hills Syrah 2022 750 ML is a benchmark cool-climate California Syrah that highlights purity, structure, and terroir-driven elegance from the Sta. Rita Hills AVA. Crafted from estate-grown fruit and fermented with a high percentage of whole clusters, this wine delivers complex aromas of blackberries, boysenberries, cracked black pepper, olive tapenade, and cured meat, layered with floral and herbal nuances. The palate is medium-bodied yet deeply expressive, showing vibrant acidity, silky texture, and savory complexity with notes of spice, licorice, and earthy undertones, finishing long, fresh, and refined. Aged in neutral French oak to preserve varietal character, this Syrah is more elegant than heavy, making it an excellent pairing with roasted meats, lamb, and aged cheeses while also offering strong aging potential.
