2011 | Melka | Metisse Jumping Goat Vineyard

The 2011 vintage was almost a dream come true for a French winemaker; light on its feet with aromatics of clove, cardamon and Bing cherry, this wine displays incredible vibrancy with lush, lively fruit. The structure and texture show a purity that is closest in style to a true Bordeaux. The seductive aromas and incredible balance excite the sense and make this wine ideal for food paring. This varietal blend composition is reminiscent of our very first vintage of Metisse.
Blend: 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 25% Petit Verdot

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2011 Metisse Jumping Goat Vineyard is composed of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and 15% Petit Verdot. Surprisingly strong for this vintage, it exhibits notes of blue and red fruits, charcoal, white chocolate, coffee bean and wood. Medium to full-bodied with soft, round, ripe, pure fruit notes that linger on the palate, this very fine 2011 can be consumed over the next decade.

Producer Information

Philippe and Cherie Melka have been sharing their passion for creating exceptional wines since 1996 with the releases of the CJ and Metisse wines. Their vision was to grow these two wines into something consumers would anticipate when released. Production was very small, quality high and visibility in the marketplace limited. Those were their intentions. Today, the Melkas are proud to continue to produce CJ Cabernet along with three single vineyard Metisse wines from Napa Valley, Knights Valley and St. Emilion. Philippe and Cherie continue to pursue their vision of producing wines that demonstrate the uniqueness of site and varietal as the project arcs into its second decade above the radar and in full fruition.
