2012 Pulido-Walker Melanson Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon | St. Helena Napa Valley California 750ml

All the punch and power is there, with no sense that it will take time to smooth out. The wine is round, full, rich and accessible - more complete than it has ever been at release. With flavors of ink-black fruit and white flower aromatics... Winemaker's Notes, Thomas Rivers Brown

The high elevation and perfect exposure of the Melanson site on Pritchard Hill combined with the perfect vintage conditions of 2012 yield intense Cabernet fruit from clones 7 and 337. Strictly non-interventionist winemaking practices are allowing the terroir to speak for itself and it tells a tale of full tannins, full fruits, and full complexity. 245 cases produced. Falling Bright
