Philippe and Cherie Melka have turned out a gorgeous set of wines. The Melka range encompasses vineyards in St. Helena, Knights Valley and Paso Robles. For ease of future reference, I have reviewed all the wines here. It's always interesting to taste a winemaker's own wines and compare them to those he or she make for their clients. Stylistically, the Melka wines offer plenty of depth and intensity, but they don't sit on the edge of ripeness like some of the Melka consulting projects do, like Vineyard 29 and Lail, which are probably the ripest wines Philippe Melka makes.

Philippe and Cherie Melka's Mekerra wines capture the essence of Knights Valley, one of the truly great terroirs in Sonoma.
