Melka Wines Napa Valley Metisse Jumping Goat Vineyard (2021)
Wine Tasting Notes
The 2021 Métisse Jumping Goat offers blue fruit, blackberry and fig with layers of spice, tobacco and dark chocolate. Pronounced minerality and savory depth run through a palate framed by refined, finely grained tannins. Silky and very long, it is a Cabernet to cellar for two decades.
