The 2016 ‘Block M’ from Melville is an outstanding, limited production Pinot Noir made by the talented Chad Melville. On the nose this takes on a distinct dark fruit tone, with cigar box and sagebrush connecting. The palate is plush and dense showing really nice terroir along with cola and dark fruit flavors. Balanced with wonderful salinity, this Pinot Noir is simply delicious now, and should continue to evolve over a decade or more.
