End of summer brought family gala Labor Day cookout featuring smoked beef brisket and medley of premium red wines \u2026<\/p>\n

Most of the family gathered at son Ryan\u2019s and Michelle\u2019s for a gala end of summer Labor Day cookout. Ryan smoked a beef brisket and opened from his cellar a selection of ultra-premium red wines.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Everyone brought a salad, side dish or dessert to accompany the brisket and grilled hot dogs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ryan pulled from his cellar a diverse horizontal (multiple bottles from the same vintage) selection of 2005 vintage ultra-premium red wines from Napa Valley, Santa Barbara County and Left Bank Bordeaux.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Phillip Melka Matisse Red Wine 2005<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

This is from one of our favorite producers,\u00a0Phillippe Melka<\/b>, a producer we know well and hold several of his labels across two decades of vintages. Phillippe was the mentor for\u00a0Eric White<\/b>\u00a0of\u00a0Galena Cellars Vineyards and Winey in Galena, IL<\/a>, whom we met during our stay in the estate guest house during our getaway holiday week a couple years ago.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Philippe grew up in Bordeaux, earned his degree in Geology at the University of Bordeaux and later his Master\u2019s degree in Agronomy and Enology. His first wine job was at Ch\u00e2teau Haut Brion in Bordeaux. His first introduction to the Napa Valley came in 1991 as an intern with Christian Moueix, proprietor of Chateau Petrus in Bordeaux and Dominus in Napa Valley. Philippe came to Dominus to study soils \u2013 then spent a few years as a traveling winemaker and ultimately settled in the Napa Valley in 1994.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>The list of Napa wineries that Philippe has worked with over the years reads like a whose whose list of the valley \u2013 Alejandro Bulgheroni Estate, Brand, Bryant Family, Dana Estates, Lail, Hundred Acre and Tusk Estate among many other well-regarded brands.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Philippe works with co-proprietor and co-winemaker for Melka Estates, wife, Cherie Melka. Cherie earned a degree in Microbiology at Northern Arizona University and worked for a while in pharmaceuticals as a laboratory technician. In 1989, she moved to California and took her first winery job for Paul Draper at Ridge Vineyards where she ran the lab for five years. It was here that she met Philippe who was working the vineyards.\u00a0<\/span>Cherie was self-taught as a enologist gaining her wine knowledge from equally impressive estates such as Ridge Vineyards, Beaulieu and Silver Oak Cellars.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Their combined science backgrounds and extensive experience in the industry make them a perfect team in their winemaking endeavors.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n

The Melka brand started in 1996, when Philippe and Cherie moved back to Napa Valley from France and set out to produce their own brand, despite each working for different wineries. \u00a0<\/span><\/span>After years of consulting, Philippe and Cherie opened up Melka Wines, in 1996, celebrating their first vintage of a Bordeaux styled Red Wine labeled Melka Metisse with\u00a0<\/span>a total production of 500 cases.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Melka Estates<\/b>\u00a0started with Philippe and Cherie Melka sourcing fruit for their first two labels, two wines, one named in honor of their two children Chloe and Jeremy, and Metisse. They have since grown to four collections, CJ (a red blend very approachable in its youth sourced from premium vineyards throughout the Napa Valley), Metisse (a word that means \u2018blend of cultures\u2019 with wines from the Napa Valley), Mekerra (from the property they own in Sonoma County) and Majestique (single vineyard wines from outside of the Napa Valley). As a footnote, one quickly realizes the affinity the Melka\u2019s have for the letter \u2018M\u2019.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The vineyards that contribute to the making of Melka wines are sourced from relationships with growers over the 20 years that they\u2019ve been making this wine. Two primary sources of fruit for CJ are Soda Canyon, a unique area in Napa Valley near Oakville with hillside fruit, and Broken Rock has brought more fresh crushed rocks, good acidity and more massive tannins.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n

We\u2019ve held this label dating back to that inaugural vintage release in 1996.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This 2005 Melka M\u00e9tisse Proprietary Red is a full-bodied, elegant Napa Valley Bordeaux blend.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It is a comprised <\/span><\/span>of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Petit Verdot,\u00a0<\/span><\/span>100% sourced\u00a0<\/span><\/span>from the Jumping Goat vineyard in St. Helena.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s was aged 19 months in French oak barrels (75% new). Production was 475 cases.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This was rated <\/span>94 points by\u00a0<\/span>Int’l Wine Cellar and\u00a0<\/span>93 points by Wine Spectator and 91 by Wine Advocate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dark ruby colored, medium to full-bodied, intense, concentrated, complex, ripe blackberry and black currant fruits with notes of spice, cassis, licorice, tar, spices and bitter mocha chocolate with smooth polished tannings on a lengthy finish.<\/span><\/p>\n

RM 93 points. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Chateau Montrose St Estephe Bordeaux 2005<\/b><\/p>\n

This is a classic left bank Bordeaux from a classic vintage that should last several decades and at twenty years is just beginning to reveal its true profile and potential. In 2024, Jeb Dunnock wrote, \u201c (this) Montrose has another 50-75 years of overall longevity. It should cruise for another 30 years in cold cellars\u201c\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just now starting to show a kiss of maturity and it looks to be in the early phases of its prime drinking window. It\u2019s also the finest bottles I\u2019ve had, pointing to this starting to round the corner and show its full potential.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

It is being written that the 2005 will, at maturity, surpass the two classic vintages of 1989 and 1990 – high praise signaling a top vintage with extraordinary aging potential.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve collected this classic old school St Estephe label going back to the early 1980\u2019s, including our kids\u2019 birthyears, 1981\u2019 \u201882, \u201885 and 1990. We still hold several vintages dating back to the 1980\u2019s.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

This was the final vintage managed entirely by the Charmol\u00fce family before the estate was sold to the Bouygues in 2006.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

We drove by the historic St Estephe estate along the Gironde River just north of the town of Pauillac during our visit to the region in 2018.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n
<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The 2005 Montrose is classic St Estephe, old school, a behemoth wine with a massive Cabernet profile, big bold dark cassis, hints of pencil cedar shavings, and earthy and leathery aromas and tobacco just starting to reveal, big ripe fruits with great tannic and acidic structure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n

This highly acclaimed release was rated 99 points by Jeb Dunnuck, 98 points by Jane Anson of Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate and The Wine Independent, 96 Decanter and James Suckling and 96 points, Neal Martin for Vinous.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

This is a blend of\u00a065% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 3% to 3.5% Cabernet Franc, and 0.5% to 1% Petit Verdot. It was aged in 60% new oak. Winemakers was Jean-Bernard Delma, oversaw the elevage of this wine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Neal Martin of Vinous wrote, \u201cIt’s no shy retiring flower by a long stretch\u2014if you seek a more bombastic\u00a0Montrose then this is where to come. “<\/span><\/p>\n

Winemaker Notes – \u201c2005 impresses by its exceptional power, the amazing pure fruit, and the extraordinary engaging elegance without having the overwhelming charm of the 2003. Stylistically, very classical and very Bordeaux-like, without austerity. Dense purple color, almost black.The nose is still closed: black fruits, spices, chocolate. Complex palate, long, rich, powerful, cherry, cocoa, licorice, tobacco brown, prune. This is a very big wine, full and very structured, with nice length, the tannins are very robust, with great aging potential.\u201d<\/p>\n

As with many super highly rated wines, this shows a characteristic profile revealing a flawless lack of faults, with a terrific sense of freshness, balance, and remarkable purity and precision.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dark garnet, ruby\/plum-hued, full-bodied, intense, dense, concentrated, complex, yet balanced, still a bit tight and closed, layered dark blackcurrant and red fruits, spices, cloves, chocolate loamy soil, leather, graphite and hints of black truffles, floral and ash, turning to refined, silky polished tannins, on a long elegant finish.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Be patient, give this time, and hopefully if you\u2019re lucky and able, taste periodically over an extended period to see how it matures, opens to reveal itself \u00a0<\/p>\n

RM 95 points.<\/p>\n
