The lucky winner of this lot will also receive a magnum of the 2016 Pulido~Walker Cabernet Sauvignon, Melanson Vineyard. The Melanson Vineyard sits east of Oakville between boulders clinging stubbornly to the steep slopes of Pritchard Hill. Vines grow at elevations from 1,100 to 1,380 ft. above sea level, in serpentine and clay soils laden with igneous and seabed rock.

Jeb Dunnuck characterizes the 2016 Pulido~Walker Cabernet Sauvignon from the Melanson Vineyard as “a rocking bouquet of chocolaty black and blue fruits, truffle, charcoal embers, and earthy nuances. This full-bodied beauty has a ripe, layered, seamless texture and is perfectly balanced. It’s another gem from the genius of Thomas Rivers Brown.”  JebDunnuck.com, January 2019

And he awarded it 98 points. This wine is a stunner!
