TOR Wines Cabernet Sauvignon Melanson Vineyard Pritchard Hill Napa Valley 2021
Organic Practices
9% OFF RETAIL!
2021 Melanson has an additional level of richness and a slightly higher level of black fruits over the typical red fruit spectrum that Pritchard Hill typically provides. An amazingly rich and seamless mid to back palate that shows off its mountain terroir. This will be the longest-lived Melanson they have ever made, an homage to the majesty of Pritchard Hill. Deep, dark, and opulent.
About The Producer
Over the last four decades, I've walked almost every corner of the Napa Valley striving to understand exactly what makes a great wine. After 27 years helping Beringer build a wine company known for premium single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignons and Chardonnays, my wife, Susan, and I founded TOR Wines in 2001. Jeff Ames made our first wines that year. The plan was simple: our wines would come from only the best blocks in great vineyard sites I knew and revered." - Tor Kenward
