Unbelievably exceptional wine. Elegant, big and bold but without a hint of harsh edges on the tannins. This wine is a beautiful representation of French style Cali Cab. Melka has completely outdone himself. Gorgeous property and an equally amazing wine to boot.

Impeccably balanced. Very sweet tannins. Iron fist in a velvet glove.

One of the stars of 2011. Black and red cherry, cedar, tobacco, long finish. Lots of energy.

Wine closest in style to Memento Mori that I've ever tasted! Great aromatics, light on its feet but enough lengthy tannins to carry a finish. Thank you Greg for sharing!
