Melville Estate, under the meticulous craftsmanship of Winemaker Chad Melville, presents the 2021 Syrah Donna’s – a wine that has earned accolades and critical acclaim, and for good reason.

In the glass, this Syrah dons a vivid ruby/plum hue, inviting exploration. The aromas are a masterpiece of cool-climate Syrah, starting with an alluring embrace of pepper. As the bouquet unfolds, it reveals the intrigue of damp sage, bay leaf, tar, squid ink, and elderberry, painting a vivid olfactory tapestry.

Upon sipping, the palate is greeted by the ripe blackberry jam flavors, which quickly evolve into a symphony of complexity. Cracked green peppercorn, olive tapenade, ash, and Sichuan peppercorn join the ensemble, creating a multi-dimensional texture that’s as captivating as it is elegant.

The wine’s full-bodied nature is graced by ultra-fine tannins, providing structure and balance. This is a Syrah that tells a story with every sip, a journey through flavors that resonate with sophistication.

The grand finale is a gorgeous finish, resonating long after the last drop. The 2021 Syrah Donna’s from Melville Estate is a true masterpiece, and as attested by Jeb Dunnuck and Wine Enthusiast, it’s world-class. With its exceptional quality, it’s already irresistible, yet it promises to evolve gracefully over the next 15-20 years. Cheers to Chad Melville for a brilliant expression of Syrah that stands amongst the finest.
