Anna’s Block is composed from Pinot Noir clones of 667 and 114 sourced in the back of the vineyard. The 2015 is a simply dazzling showing, which begins with aromatics of black cherry compote and wild blackberry with black tea and black winter truffles. The palate is focused around a lovely core of minerality and yields precise flavors of orange rind, black cherries, black raspberry liquor and hints of loganberry jam. The combination of salinity and deep fruit is simply remarkable as it leaves a lasting impression. Overall this is a wonderful effort from the team at Melville. (Best 2017-2028) - August, 2017 (OB)
