title: Samsara 2006 Melville Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills)
description: Very full-bodied and rich, a densely structured wine that's too young to appreciate now. The cherries, raspberries, currants, roasted coconut, mocha frappuccino, date nut bread, candied ginger, orange tea and sandalwood are exotic and almost overpowering, but the wine never loses its tense control. Now through 2012, at least.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Melville Vineyard
