There is something incredibly elegant about this wine. Is it the fruit profile, which is ripe and luscious without being cloying? Is it the texture, which is silky and smooth? Maybe it's the whole package, showcasing the higher elevation nature of Meyer Vineyard, which sits in the Dundee Hills. The wine includes 20% whole cluster and 60% new oak, yet both remain firmly in balance.
Eric Lemelson started Lemelson Vineyards with the long view in mind, first planting vines in 1995 before investing in another 30 acres just two years later. With the release of the estate's inaugural vintage in 2001, Lemelson announced its arrival to the masses. The winery sits just a few minutes east of Carlton, the kind of sleepy wine country town that makes all of us consider packing up our lives and starting over there.
