Melka
CJ Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2011
Lucky to have a chance to meet and work with Philipe and Cherie Melka and Sylvie the other day. Enjoyed this wine with hangar steak and onions, mushrooms, and broccoli with garlic. Now the wine. Nose has cocoa, black cherry, tobacco, and hints of orange rind and green bell pepper. The palate confirms the nose with a cherry and dark spice. Green tannins support the fruit without being offensive. Actually, a comfort from some of the fruit bombs in Napa Valley. Most enjoyable with a long finish of dark spice, chocolate, and a hint of green pepper. #melkawines — 11 years ago

This is the 2007. Lovely vanilla on then nose along with red and black fruits, cedar, and nutmeg. Palate is rich with a lovely velvetyness after its had a chance to breathe for a bit. There's a touch of licorice and plum on the palate too. Pleasant medium finish. — 10 years ago
Château Lafite Rothschild
Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1998
Nuff said. I was honored just to get the chance to open it for a patron. Didn't expect to get to taste it but we really connected and she shared. Probably could sit for another 10 years...in the decanter! Just wow. #firstgrowthbordeaux #pauillac#auction #agedbordeaux — 11 years ago
Château Haut-Brion
Graves Red Bordeaux Blend 1970
OK, how many times do you get a chance to drink a 44 year old first growth? One of my fav all time Bordeaux producers. This wine still has it's substance...the cork came out clean too. It's leather, barnyard, cigar and smooth. What a colorful wine. Wow! — 11 years ago
