Melka EstatesCJ Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

It’s hard to believe that Philippe Melka has been making CJ for 20 years, but this vintage does mark his 20th vintage of CJ Cabernet, named after his two kids, Chloe and Jeremy. Philippe thinks that this is the most dramatically intense and opulent style of CJ to date.  “Quite the evolution from a vibrant, youthful style wine to a one that is sophisticated and mature - very much like its namesake Chloe and Jeremy,” says Philippe. For as many wines as Philippe has helped to produce, from Hundred Acre to Dana Estates, Alejandro Bulgheroni to Nine Suns, Brand, Tusk, Fairchild, Seavey, Gandona, Lail and more, this this Cabernet is his own and has the meticulous detail of great winemaking in the bottle.
