The Buddhist word “Samsara” illustrates the part of each human being that longs to control every aspect of their existence, through a process of attachment, desire and greed. To reach a state of Nirvana, one must pass through the world of Samsara.

Samsara Wine Co. spawned out of Chad Melville's desire to express his independence and creativity. Chad's committed vineyard background has provided him with the insight to select site-specific rows within vineyards where the terroir is best expressed. The terroir-driven focus will remain on small production, vineyard-designated bottlings of syrah and pinot noir.
