Melka Estates’ 2018 Métisse Cabernet: #15 of the 21st Century

We’re honored to announce that our 2018 Métisse Montbleau Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon has been ranked 15th on Robb Report’s 50 Best Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignons of the 21st Century.

"Owners Philippe and Cherie Melka produce four lines of wine including Mêtisse and CJ from Napa Valley, Mekerra from Sonoma, and Majestique from vineyards around the world. Philippe learned winemaking by working at fine wine estates in Bordeaux, Italy, and Napa while Cherie, a self-taught winemaker, studied microbiology. Their 2018 Mêtisse hails from Montbleau Vineyard and has aromas of cherry pipe tobacco, mocha, and black plum with opulent tannins and flavors of red cherry, dark chocolate, cassis, and black raspberry.
