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.
Tasting Notes
- WA96
- Its dense ruby/purple color is followed by a classic nose of spring flowers, black currants, coffee beans, smoke, and forest floor. Full-bodied with silky tannins, a voluptuous texture, and real opulence and length, it comes across like a French right bank wine rather than a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated red. Drink it over the next two decades.
- WS93
- Firm and well-structured, showing a tight mix of spicy blackberry and wild berry fruit, with notes of spice, mineral and sage. Full-bodied, focused and persistent, ending with a rich, loamy earth and forest floor aftertaste. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2020.
