JS99 Aromas of terracotta, clay and plum. Kiln too. Full-bodied with super freshness and balance that then shows an incredible finish with an electrical aftertaste. Vibrant. Tingling. Wow. Makes you want to drink it! This is from a very clay-soiled hillside vineyard.
WA95 From a 7-acre hillside vineyard overlooking Lake Hennessey, the 2012 Melbury, like its siblings, is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged in 100% new oak for a minimum of 24 to 28 months, then bottled unfiltered. The wine displays beautiful blackberry fruit, some charcoal, loamy soil undertones, forest notes, lots of spice, a full-bodied, multi-dimensional mouthfeel, and a super finish of 45+ seconds. Even in a vintage like 2012, this wine ideally needs 3-5 years of bottle age and should keep for 30+ years.
VIN95 The 2012 Melbury is a gracious, mid-weight wine. Crushed flowers, mint, white pepper, orange peel and red-toned fruit all confer notable freshness. In this tasting, the Melbury comes across as medium in body and also a bit tight, with vibrant acids that are quite persistent.
