Written Notes

Woodbridge and Melka uses the same vineyard source here, but this is a very strict selection from the best sections in the vineyard, and the best and most ripe grapes. Vinification is carried out in the same way, with one very important difference – this wine is kept in the new French oak barrels for 36-40 months! This practice shows very well. Poured direct from the bottle, the coconut and vanilla aromas dominates the nose, although there is a great amount of rich, ripe and beautifully pure dark fruit underneath. It’s wrong to describe this wine as closed, but for sure it needs time to open up fully – actually it took more than 20 minutes in the glass for the fruit to climb over the oak costume, and further 20 minutes of so for some complexity to show. At this young age, it’s a very good and promising wine indeed, but it is not really as complex and elegant as the “regular” Kayli Morgan Vineyard. Since it was the first time I tasted this wine (first vintage was 2001), I don’t know how it will evolve, but I guess it follows the same path as the Kayli Morgan bottling. Due to the higher alcohol level, the abundant use of oak, will it keep as long?
