Limitedprevious vintage 98 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "The Melville Syrah Donna's is all varietal and comes from the Melville Vineyard. Its vivid ruby/plum hue is followed by classic Syrah notes of ripe blackberries, mulberries, pepper, violets, and gamey meats. These carry to a full-bodied Syrah with ultra-fine tannins, a layered, multi-dimensional texture, and a gorgeous finish.

Hats off to Chad Melville for a brilliant, world class Syrah! 94 Points Robert Parker: "Despite being bottled just three weeks before I tasted it, I found the 2022 Syrah Donna's Block an alluring highlight within the Melville roster.
