One of our favorite wines but some of our favorite people. Brand started off with a bang in 09 and has been taking giant leaps since. Some real deal juice right here!

Firing on all cylinders tonight! Everything I look for in a Cab and Melka always delivers! Power and depth with grace and elegance. Great mouth feel... Ripe, well integrated tanins with vibrant acidity, but still very balanced and harmonious. Complex layers of red, blue and black fruits and berries, nuanced minerality and graphite, BDX-like earth tones, sweet sage herb and and an extra long finish.

Spectacular! Luscious! Full-bodied! Dark chocolate on the nose. Dark cherries, currants, blackberries, mocha, mint, a bit of vanilla, blueberries, and oak. Warm, lingering finish. Decanted for about two-and-a-half hours.

Structured and broad shouldered. Interested to see how these age over time.
