• One 1.5L bottle of 2018 Melka CJ Cabernet Sauvignon

• One 1.5L bottle of 2017 Lail Vineyards J. Daniel Cuvee Cabernet Sauvignon

2019 Melka CJ Cabernet: Their 23rd vintage of this wine and it is still a joy to produce. There is a reason their CJ has such a strong following and this wine does not disappoint. The nose is intense and powerful with black currant, raspberry and fresh strawberries along with hints of crushed rocks. The entry is juicy and layered complemented by cassis, red plum, with a leathery yet vibrant structure. This wine has lots of fruit with plush, integrated tannins that make this easy and approachable even at a young stage in its life. Recommended to decant to show off even more of its expressivity.

"A beautiful expression of the 2019 growing season showing a superbly structured yet approachable wine."
~ Philippe and Cherie Melka, proprietors

2017 Lail Vineyards J. Daniel Cuvee: "ONE OF THE MOST IMPRESSIVE WINES OF THE YEAR. The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon J. Daniel Cuvee really shows the radiance and richness of the year in its inky, super-concentrated feel. Super-ripe blackberry jam, chocolate, sweet spice, lavender and espresso all flesh out. Ample and full-throttle to the core, the 2017 offers tremendous immediacy and tons of pure pleasure." - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
