Melka “Martinez” 750ml 2018

Philippe and Cherie Melka are as close to Napa Valley royalty as they come. Philippe’s work in the valley includes time with Christian Moueix at Dominus and Hundred Acre. Cherie is not to far from the platform of echelon, being a associated with Ridge Vineyards and Silver Oak!

Aroma: Powerful black fruit and hints of cocoa powder and black ground pepper. A note of rustic dusty stewed fruit lingers on the background.

Palate: Firm structure with balance from the fruit and acidity. A seamless finish of oak mixed with dark fruit.
