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.

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.
