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 Majestique Le Chatelet St. Emilion 2014 is a sophisticated red Bordeaux blend, primarily composed of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, sourced from limestone vineyards in Saint-Émilion. This micro-cuvée showcases the elegance of the 2014 vintage, featuring fresh and precise flavors with fine, chalky tannins. The aromatic profile is rich with plum, black cherry, and floral notes of violet, complemented by hints of graphite and wet stone. Subtle nuances of cedar and tobacco arise from the French oak aging, adding depth to this exquisite wine. This small-production gem reflects a unique transatlantic collaboration, promising a rewarding experience through the years.
