This is a superb set of wines from Philippe and Cherie Melka. The Melkas draw on a collection of top-notch vineyards in Knights Valley, Napa Valley and Paso Robles for their lush, super-distinctive wines. This year, readers will see a new Merlot from estate vineyards in Knights Valley that is well worth taking a look at.

This is a superb set of wines from Philippe and Cherie Melka. Interestingly, the 2015s are much more approachable post bottling than the 2014s were at the same point in time last year. As good as the 2015s are, the 2016 have a bit more freshness and nuance that nicely complements a house style that seeks textural richness and intensity.
