It will be interesting to see how things develop at Melville now that Chad Melville has taken over winemaking from Greg Brewer. Melville has long run vineyard operations, but this is the first time in the estate's history that farming and winemaking are all managed by the same person. Melville keeps his cards close to the vest when it comes to what he is going to change in winemaking, but the 2015 Clone 76 gives some indication, as it is made in a style that is much less reductive than has been the case in the past. The Pinots (except the Indigène) and the Syrahs are made with a high percentage of whole clusters and are aged in neutral oak.
