Power, depth and tannic clout – all signatures of this great Napa Valley vintage – come through in the 2013 Melbury. Bright acids and beams of tannin give the flavors striking vibrancy. Black cherry, plum, mocha, pine, sage and crushed rocks are some of the notes that flesh out in the glass, but above all else, the 2013 is a wine of structure and myriad shades of dimension. It is also, in my view, the most complete Melbury.
Anticipated maturity: 2023-2038
The 2013 Melbury displays bluer fruits than the 2012, more charcoal, violets, possibly slightly higher acid and more tannin, but also even more extract and richness (which is not easy). It is a very structured, backward, primordial wine with enormous upside potential, but patience will be required. This wine will need 5-10 years of bottle age and will drink well for 40-50 years.
Anticipated maturity: 2020-2075
