Not quite as good as last bottle 18 months ago, seems to have lost a bit of complexity. Still a very solid wine that likely needs a few years more cellar time.

Vibrant yet Supple Cab - rich fruit - Black Currant & Cocoa with hint of Oak. Super well balanced with ripe Tannins. Velvety long finish with Blackberry and a touch of Graphite that keeps the taste buds wanting more. Another Melka winner

Decanted, immediately returned the bottle, and followed over the course of an hour. The fifth or sixth wine of the evening.
Earthy notes on the nose.after the prior quick decant, I’m shocked how much this has softened up. Really nice balance of structure and ripe, blue band red fruit. I’m impressed with this wine approachability at such a young age. Good through 2026A-*
