Candied raspberry, fruit leather and vanilla chocolate. Decent acidic lift to keep everything drinkable. This has all the marks of a solid cabernet. Fairly solid at the price point.

A contrast of bright red fruit and dark spices. Fresh cherries, raspberries and strawberry contrast with clove, charcoal sea salt and black caraway seeds. A persistent minerality keeps the wine steadily flowing through your mouth even right after opening. A long finish exhibits a unique, rich cedar of the Slavonian oak.

A beautiful wine which I wish I had more opportunity to spend time with.

This is without a doubt a perfect example of a high end Napa Cabernet. Ripe fruit that draws you in on the bouquet and into the dense palate, an expansive tannic structure and a lightness from the mid-palate acidity...this certainly is a Melka wine.

Beautiful, and certainly justifies the high price tag. I personally thought it didn't hit the same wavelength as me though - not sure if the result of bottle condition or serving condition.
