2022 Opus One Overture
The 2022 Overture from Opus One Winery represents the multi-vintage second expression of one of Napa Valley’s most iconic collaborations, born from the historic partnership between Robert Mondavi and Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Château Mouton Rothschild. Established in 1979 in the heart of Oakville within Napa Valley, Opus One was conceived as a singular vision: a wine marrying the precision and aristocratic structure of Bordeaux with the depth and ripeness of Napa Valley fruit. Overture, first introduced in the 1990s, evolved from a non-vintage blend designed to express the estate’s vineyards through a broader lens—offering earlier accessibility while retaining the refinement and pedigree of the flagship Opus One bottling. The 2022 Overture draws primarily from the estate’s prized vineyards in Oakville, where well-drained alluvial soils and warm days tempered by cool evening breezes produce Cabernet Sauvignon with remarkable balance and concentration. The blend typically centers on Cabernet Sauvignon with supporting roles from Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec, echoing the classical Left Bank structure. In the glass, the wine opens with expressive aromatics of blackcurrant, dark plum, and blueberry layered with graphite, cocoa, and subtle baking spice. On the palate, Overture shows remarkable harmony: velvety tannins, vibrant acidity, and a supple texture that makes it approachable in its youth while still reflecting the compositional complexity of the estate’s grand vin. Careful oak integration provides notes of cedar and vanilla without overshadowing the wine’s mineral backbone and layered fruit.

2021 Melka Metisse Jumping Goat Cabernet Sauvignon
The 2021 “Metisse Jumping Goat” Cabernet Sauvignon from Melka Wines exemplifies the refined and site-driven style that has made Philippe Melka one of Napa Valley’s most celebrated winemakers. Trained in Bordeaux and seasoned under luminaries such as Jean-Pierre Moueix and at estates including Château Haut-Brion and Dominus Estate, Melka brings Old World precision to California’s most expressive vineyards. The “Metisse” program, co-created with his wife Cherie Melka, represents a playful yet meticulous exploration of Napa Cabernet, while “Jumping Goat” references the vineyard’s spirited hillside terrain and the vineyard dog that became a muse during harvest. Sourced from select Napa Valley hillside parcels, the 2021 vintage reflects a perfect balance of ripeness, structure, and aromatic purity. Cabernet Sauvignon thrives here due to well-drained soils and significant diurnal shifts, which allow berries to mature slowly, building concentrated flavors while retaining bright acidity. In the glass, the wine shows classic Napa Cab hallmarks: cassis, black cherry, and dark plum framed by graphite, crushed rock, and subtle tobacco leaf nuances.

2019 Melka Mekerra Knights Valley Sauvignon Blanc
The 2019 “Mekerra” Sauvignon Blanc from Melka Wines, sourced from vineyards in Knights Valley, is a fascinating departure from the Cabernet-dominated reputation of the Melka portfolio and a testament to the versatility of winemaker Philippe Melka. A Bordeaux native trained at the University of Bordeaux, Melka spent formative years working under Jean-Pierre Moueix and honing his craft at legendary estates such as Château Haut-Brion before establishing himself in California. His consulting work has shaped the identity of iconic Napa Valley producers including Bryant Family Vineyard, Hundred Acre Wine Group, and Vineyard 29. Yet within his own label—founded with his wife Cherie Melka—Melka explores a broader spectrum of varieties. The “Mekerra” bottling, named for their son Jeremy, highlights his interpretation of Sauvignon Blanc when grown in a terroir capable of both aromatic intensity and structural depth. Knights Valley, tucked between the Mayacamas Mountains and Mount St. Helena, provides an ideal environment for Sauvignon Blanc. The region’s volcanic soils, warm days, and cooling influences from nearby mountain airflows allow the grape to achieve full ripeness while maintaining vibrant acidity. In the 2019 Mekerra, the varietal’s classical aromatic profile unfolds with precision: Meyer lemon, white peach, and guava layered with crushed stone, fresh herbs, and subtle floral lift.

2021 Melka CJ Cabernet
The 2021 “CJ” Cabernet Sauvignon from Melka Wines represents one of the most personal expressions within the portfolio of celebrated winemaker Philippe Melka. Named after his daughter, the CJ bottling reflects Melka’s philosophy of crafting wines that merge intellectual precision with emotional resonance. Trained in Bordeaux at the University of Bordeaux’s enology program, Melka refined his craft working alongside Jean-Pierre Moueix and later at iconic estates such as Château Haut-Brion before arriving in Napa Valley in the mid-1990s. His consulting work helped shape the identity of several of Napa’s most sought-after estates—including Bryant Family Vineyard, Hundred Acre Wine Group, and Vineyard 29—while his own label, founded with his wife Cherie Melka, allows him to explore small-production wines built around exceptional vineyard sites. The 2021 CJ Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from a selection of premium Napa Valley vineyards, typically emphasizing hillside parcels that provide excellent drainage and naturally low yields. The 2021 vintage in Napa Valley is already regarded as one of the region’s most compelling modern harvests—marked by a dry growing season, small berries, and remarkable concentration paired with vibrant natural acidity. In the glass, the wine displays the hallmarks of world-class Cabernet Sauvignon: cassis, black cherry, and dark plum layered with graphite, cedar, crushed rock, and subtle baking spice. Melka’s signature style is evident in the balance between opulence and structure—silky yet firm tannins, polished oak integration, and a long mineral-driven finish that emphasizes site expression rather than sheer power.

2019 Melka Mekerra Merlot
The 2019 Mekerra Merlot from Melka Wines reflects the meticulous and intellectually driven approach of renowned winemaker Philippe Melka. Born and trained in Bordeaux, Melka studied viticulture and enology at the University of Bordeaux before sharpening his craft through formative work with legends like Jean-Pierre Moueix and at estates such as Château Haut-Brion and Dominus Estate under Christian Moueix. After establishing himself in Napa Valley in the mid-1990s, Melka quickly became one of the most sought-after consulting winemakers in the region, contributing to the success of cult estates including Bryant Family Vineyard, Hundred Acre Wine Group, and Vineyard 29. His personal label, founded with his wife Cherie Melka, is named after their children, and the Mekerra bottling—named for their son Jeremy—represents his vision of Merlot at its most precise and structured. The 2019 vintage of Mekerra is sourced primarily from hillside vineyards in Napa Valley, where Merlot benefits from excellent drainage and exposure, encouraging small berries and naturally concentrated phenolics. In the glass, the wine showcases the grape’s aristocratic side: black plum, ripe blueberry, and cassis layered with graphite, mocha, and violet. What sets Melka’s interpretation apart is the architectural tension—silky but densely packed tannins, finely integrated oak, and a mineral spine that recalls the Right Bank of Bordeaux more than the plush stereotypes often associated with Napa Merlot. The 2019 growing season in Napa Valley was long and even, allowing slow phenolic development and producing wines with remarkable balance and purity, qualities that elevate this bottling well beyond the varietal’s typical expectations.

2023 Favia Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
The 2023 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from Favia continues the philosophy that husband-and-wife team Andy Erickson and Annie Favia established when they founded the estate in 2003. Erickson—whose résumé includes winemaking roles at Screaming Eagle, Harlan Estate, and Dalla Valle Vineyards—brings an Old World sensibility to Napa Cabernet, emphasizing site transparency, moderate extraction, and architectural balance over sheer scale. The 2023 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from a mosaic of meticulously farmed vineyards spanning benchland and volcanic sites across Napa, giving the wine a layered structural profile. Cabernet Sauvignon thrives here because of Napa’s dramatic diurnal shifts and well-drained volcanic and alluvial soils, which encourage thick skins, small berries, and naturally high phenolic concentration. For a Master Sommelier’s palate, the varietal signature is unmistakable: cassis, black cherry, graphite, and crushed rock layered with violets, tobacco leaf, and subtle bay laurel. Erickson’s restrained oak regimen allows the terroir to lead, highlighting Cabernet’s intrinsic architecture—firm but polished tannins, vibrant acidity, and the kind of structural symmetry that suggests two decades of graceful evolution. The 2023 vintage in Napa, marked by a long, temperate growing season and extended hang time, allowed phenolic maturity to develop slowly, producing Cabernet with remarkable aromatic precision and tension—qualities that align perfectly with Favia’s terroir-first philosophy and make this bottling both intellectually compelling and cellar-worthy.

2023 Far Niente Chardonnay
The 2023 Far Niente Chardonnay is a benchmark Napa Valley white crafted from 100% Chardonnay grapes, known for its elegant balance of richness and freshness. Far Niente Winery traces its origins to 1885, when gold-rush entrepreneur John Benson founded the estate and built a gravity-flow stone winery designed for gentle winemaking; after falling into disrepair during Prohibition, it was meticulously restored in 1979 and has since become one of Napa’s most respected producers. Today the winery focuses on sourcing fruit from cooler Napa sites such as Coombsville to preserve acidity and finesse, producing a style that blends ripe orchard fruit, citrus, and subtle oak complexity. A fun fact: the name “Far Niente” is Italian for “without a care,” reflecting the estate’s philosophy of relaxed luxury and meticulous craftsmanship.
