Good Karma, Good Wine
Samsara is a Sanskrit word meaning the eternal cycle of life. The world we live in now. One of passion, oneness and harmony. This idea is key to the philosophy of Chad and Mary Melville's Samsara wines.
"Farming is a metaphor for many of life's most important lessons. Though it is our propensity as humans to do so, farming teaches us that there are elements occurring in nature that are far beyond our control. After I apply my knowledge and passion to the vineyard, I must then surrender my efforts to a causality about which I have little say. Within this struggle, the lesson of humility is learned."
They truly believe that they are winegrowers, not winemakers - that is, that all of the important work is done in the vineyard and there is little handling or manipulation once the fruit reaches the winery.

Light, bright red. Fresh strawberry and black raspberry aromas are complicated by baking spices and fresh rose. Racy red berry flavors are light in body and impressively precise, with fine-grained tannins adding structure. The spiciness builds through the long, tangy finish, which strongly echoes the strawberry note.
