Vinous, 95+ Points 

"In this tasting, the 2011 Melbury doesn’t show the volume or structure of some of the more important vintages, but it has plenty of acidity to drink well for many years. Given the challenges of the vintage, the flavor profile is naturally a bit more savory than is the norm, while the palate-feel is a touch narrow. Even so, it is pretty clear the 2011 will have its day at some point in the future." 

James Suckling, 93 Points 

"A wine with dried mushrooms and chewy, polished tannins. Full body with chocolate, walnuts and a juicy finish." 

Wine Advocate, 92 Points 

"The medium to full-bodied 2011 Melbury Proprietary Red Blend exhibits lots of blueberry and blackcurrant fruit, sweet tannin, an evolved, open-knit, friendly style, good purity and a long finish." 

Alcohol: 14.5%
