97 Points by Robert Parker

Sadly, they lost their home to the fires last year, however it must be some consolation that Wine Spectator Cover Boy Thomas Rivers Brown garnered 97 points from Robert Parker on this beauty.

"Produced from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged for 20 months in French oak, 90% new, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Melanson Vineyard Pritchard Hill has a deep purple-black color and a rock star nose of black currant cordial, dark chocolate, black forest cake and licorice with touches of charcoal, Chinese five spice, potpourri and black soil. Full-bodied, concentrated and completely seducing in the mouth, the palate offers bold, beautiful black fruit and exotic spice layers, framed by velvety tannins, finishing very long and perfumed. 210 cases were made."
