The 2010 Metisse Napa Valley is dazzling. Mint, blackberry jam, violets and graphite are some of the many nuances that flow from this powerful wine. The 2010 impresses for its breathtaking richness and depth. The very best qualities of this vintage are alive in the glass. This is a stellar showing from Philippe and Cherie Melka. The 2010 is 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot and 7% Petit Verdot from the Jumping Goat Vineyard in St. Helena. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2026. I was very impressed with these wines from Philippe and Cherie Melka. The Melkas source fruit from a variety of vineyards in Napa Valley and Knights Valley. The flagship Metisse series represents a blend of French and American cultures.Tel. (707) 963-6008
