Description
1)Melka ‘CJ,’ Napa Valley:
Named after Philippe Melka’s two children, Chloe and Jeremy, CJ is a wine crafted with love for his family. With under 1,500 cases produced annually, this blend consists of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, 10% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot sourced from hillside vineyards in Southern Napa Valley.
2) AdamVS ‘Terres,’ Howell Mountain:
As a consulting client, AdamVS is an exquisite jewel of a vineyard nestled on Howell Mountain. If you appreciate wines from Dunn and La Jota, this one’s for you. True to Melka’s signature style, the tannins are velvety, while the intense flavors of blackberries sourced from the mountain make their presence known.
3)Long Shadows Vintners, Pirouette, Columbia Valley:
Long Shadows takes a unique approach to winemaking by collaborating with experts in particular styles. In the case of Pirouette, Melka makes his contribution to this Washington winery. A beautiful blend akin to CJ, but sourced from fruit in the Columbia Valley, it offers an earthier profile with a lighter touch on the palate compared to AdamVS or CJ.
