Chad Melville's SAMsARA is one of most exciting boutique wineries in California. Working out of a small, warehouse space in the Lompoc ghetto, Melville crafts gorgeous Pinots and Syrahs. The wines are generally done with a generous amount of whole clusters and see little new oak, with minimal rackings and little handling. Unfortunately I was not able to taste the 2012 Pinots as they had not been bottled at the time of my recent visit, but I will report back on those wines as soon as I have had a chance to taste them.
