2010 vintage, bought while living in Napa. This wine impressed me in 2012 and still does after 8 years in the bottle. Philippe Melka is a genius. Wish I had more!

2010 vintage is showing all black pepper and leather, with tobacco. This should be 100 pt wine.

Excellent accompaniment with roasted rosemary chicken, sautéed mushrooms and broccoli rabe (alia olio of course). Very smooth with a great finish.
