Bought from the secondary market at $150 and was itching to see what this wine was all about.
Night in on Saturday with Filet, caesar salad, lemon orzo, and mushrooms. Double decanted 7 hours in advance of dinner. Very nice wine! This wine comes mostly from Caldwell vineyard Block 16 in Coombsville with an unspecified vineyard in Pritchard Hill. Made by Melka - this one was open for business and paired well with the food and on its own. Reminded me of another Melka made wine - the Bulgerhoni Lithology LPV I tasted a few months back. We put this wine up against Mike Smith's Bench Vineyards The Heron from the same vintage and this crushed it.

Just about perfect right now. So balanced and smooth. No need to decant - was ready right when opened

Needs some time to open up. Tannins on the swallow went away as the wine opened up.

Simply perfection. Possibly the best wine I have ever had. Smooth tannins. The cherry cola note really shines through.
