Lush and delicious - stainless steel and concrete keep this honest, fruit driven and energetic. Still has a full almost creamy mouthfeel but driven by crystalline orchard fruit, smoky minerals, and piercing citrus acidity. Fresh, drinkable, but complex and worthy of pairing with a great meal. — 7 years ago

2010 vintage. Santa Barbara County. Chardonnay sourced from 2 vineyards: Sandford & Benedict (55%) and Solomon Hills (45%). From the team behind Jonata. Aged 50% in neutral oak, 25% new oak and 25% stainless steel. Light brilliant yellow. Intense perfumes of white peach, lemon and flowers with a hint of coconut. Concentrated with layers of fruit, a certain minerality and crispy acidity. The oak is present but well-integrated. Long lemon confit finish . This should be even better in a few years. — 8 years ago

The fruit for this Pinot Noir is primarily from the Delta region of California and is fermented in closed-top fermenters. A small portion is aged in seasoned barrels to impart slight oak characteristics to the wine, but most is kept in stainless steel in order to stay true to the wine's lighter, food-friendly style. This Pinot Noir, like many of the world's finest wines, requires minimal handling. — 11 years ago

An interesting CA Chardonnay done in stainless steel with no malolactic fermentation, refreshing from typical CA style. Aromas of fruit, floral and spice. On the palate peach and tropical fruits with an underlying sweetness. Medium length ending on the crisp side. If you find a ‘13, drink now! Great value! — 7 years ago
One of the better incarnations of Melville’s stainless steel-fermented chardonnay. Aromas of lemon peel, candied melon, and a trace of flint. Terrific acidity, with a nice evolution of flavors on the palate that serve to fill the wine out. Surprisingly lingering finish given the degree of acidity, which suggests to me that this wine is going to be very interesting for quite a few years. Great job by the team at Melville! — 8 years ago

Flint & Steel adds a crisp flinty backbone to classic Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc. A lovely nose of honeysuckle, peach and grapefruit rind is followed by flavors of mango, kiwi, lemongrass & freshly squeezed grapefruit. The wine is medium bodied with a smooth and refreshing finish. — 11 years ago
Just what I needed. — 12 years ago
