Please join us in welcoming your new wine club manager, Megan!

Megan is one of those people who truly lives and breathes wine. She's been in the industry for over 20 years, and it shows in everything she does. When she’s not slinging wine, drinking wine, or talking about wine, you'll find Megan exploring nature, birdwatching, catching live theater, or spending time with her 5-year-old son, Elliot.

Cheers to new adventures with Megan 🍷

2021 Estate Grenache - Caden's Block, a tribute to Chad's son, has been a true test of patience. Years of devoted effort have gone into crafting this cold-climate, organically farmed grenache. After first sharing it with our Monopole members, we're thrilled and proud to unveil this release to our wine community. ⁠

Quantities are limited for this sumptuous new Melville-style Grenache, so don't hesitate to secure your bottles.⁠

To celebrate its official release, we’ll be pouring the grenache in our tasting rooms over Memorial Day weekend, with a by-the-glass special from Friday through Monday. Make a reservation and join us!

NEW RELEASE - Discover our 2022 Sandy’s Block Pinot Noir, now available online and in our tasting rooms! Embrace enticing aromas of dried rose petals, salty ocean air, and wild sage, followed by punches of blackberry, red plum, oolong tea and sandalwood. It’s the Sta. Rita Hills sand that brings the magic...⁠

SAND? Yes! Although uncommon to find pinot noir grown in sand due to the soil’s lack of nutrients and water holding capacity, our organic farming approach nurtures this atypical environment to reveal sand’s incredible influence on wine—pretty, lifted and delicate aromas, bright acid and dense fruit. ⁠

It’s a result we enjoy and so do the critics! The past three vintages scored 96, 95, and 97 points respectively, and the 2022 Sandy’s received 94 points from Wine & Spirits (with additional scores pending).⁠

We are proud of the fact that Earth Day was established in our hometown of Santa Barbara on this day in 1970. Today, people across the nation continue to come together to celebrate Earth Day—we recognize our accomplishments, make plans to do better and commit to protect our precious planet...honoring Mother Earth and the bounty we receive. ⁠

It’s difficult to be 100% committed and always do what’s best for the environment all of the time, as none of us are perfect. There are too many hypocrisies to list, but what is important is that we recognize this and we still push forward doing what we can.⁠

We can all do better. Know that at Melville we honor Mother Earth, not just on Earth Day, but every day. We evaluate our actions and strive to contribute to a better environment, renewing our commitment to organic farming and doing our part to protect our future. Thank you for being a part of our journey. ⁠

Plant a tree.⁠

Grown in low-nutrient sandy soil, yet nurtured with our organic farming attention, the result is an elegant pinot noir with pretty, lifted aromatics, a grounded and complex mouthfeel, and layers that linger...“with just a kiss of classic Sta. Rita Hills marine-like salinity on the finish” (Jeb Dunnuck).⁠
