The Winery
Melka
Founded by Philippe and Cherie Melka in 1996, Melka Estates crafts limited production single vineyard wines from Napa Valley, Knights Valley and Bordeaux, as well as a more widely available CJ Cabernet sauvignon blend. The Montbleau Vineyard and Melka Winery are situated on the eleven acre estate located in the St. Helena appellation. The beautiful hillside vineyard yields approximately 125 cases of exquisite high end Cabernet sauvignon.
Summary
The Melka Metisse Jumping Goat 2016 is a premium red blend from California's Napa Valley, predominantly featuring Cabernet Sauvignon with small amounts of Petit Verdot and Merlot. This single-vineyard wine exemplifies the harmonious marriage of Napa terroir and French winemaking techniques, developed by Philippe Melka. Its production is limited, with only a few hundred cases available. The wine offers a rich flavor profile characterized by exuberant notes of blackberry, plum, and dark chocolate, complemented by hints of exotic spices and earthiness. Its full-bodied structure is balanced by velvety tannins and a refreshing acidity, promising longevity and complexity.
