Melka Metisse 2017
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
Melka Métisse 2017 is a single-vineyard, Cabernet-led Bordeaux blend crafted by Philippe and Cherie Melka, featuring fruit sourced primarily from the Jumping Goat and Montbleau vineyards in California. This wine is notable for its tiny production and meticulous aging process of 18–22 months in mostly new French oak. The 2017 vintage, marked by a warm climate and a significant heatwave, showcases rich blue and purple fruit flavors alongside enticing notes of lavender, licorice, and espresso. With its robust structure and vibrant energy, this wine exemplifies the Melkas' dedication to producing exceptional, high-quality wines in limited quantities.
