2016 Melka CJ Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley french white fresh herbsWhat could be thought of as the entry level wine of the estate and a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot, the ruby purple hued 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon CJ offers a charming, classic Napa bouquet of blackcurrants, red plums, spice, and earthy flowery forest floor aromas and graphite. Rich, full bodied, balanced and classic, with good minerality, its far from a simple, entry level wine and has real depth and character.
