Vineyard Details

When Melka Wines began producing wines in 1996, the Metisse Proprietary Red was a blend of different vineyards from the various consulting clients of Philippe, using cabernet franc from Diamond Mountain to merlot from Calistoga, the wines were a blend from around the Napa Valley. Our beginnings with this wine bring us fond memories and the beautiful painting by MIchel Hacala that dons the label, is proudly displayed at our home. The terroir driven - vineyard specific wines that are now our focus, are more in keeping with our winemaking philosophy and style.
