Went here when I noticed they had a Melbac release. First impressions we're the place was very lackluster. We ordered a premium flight and sat outside. The server brought the 2017 Chardonnay and 2017 Meritage. While we were still tasting the Chardonnay she came out with the 2018 Melbac and 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon reserve and started to describe them. Would have been better to bring out all 4 at once and leave us to go things at our own pace. Also didn't like that she was swirling our wine while describing it. First nose is important to me.
As to the wines, the Chardonnay was good but was too warm and lost character quickly. The Meritage was and the 29.95 price was fair. Bought a bottle for follow-up tasting. Melbac was ok but not exciting. It has a strange taste I couldn't identify but me wife suggested it tasted a bit like perfume which I agreed. IMHO, it's overpriced at $45, and was more in the $30 range. The 2012 cab was pretty good a tad expensive at $49.95 - many rich Reds at a lower price point around the region. Bought a bottle for follow-up tasting.
Overall a humdrum experience and, for now, can't see...

Lezlee accommodated us in shipping a case of wine to our home (meaning we didn't have to fit it in our...
Read moreWe stopped in after a day at the Vineland ArtFest and were treated to a fabulous flight of reds (and a sparkling rose). Josie (the winery canine hostess) accompanied and entertained us throughout our tasting and made sure that our charcuterie board was up to her exacting standards. The service, education and wines were excellent as always thanks to Emma, Leslie and Paul. Strongly recommend the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon, 2019 Cab-Merlot and the 2021 "Carrie"...
