WINEMAKER: The legendary Celia Welch
WHAT WE TASTED: Lovely bright cherry, leathery, tea leaf, floral and dusty briary notes. Soft and supple. With more then 10 years of age, this one is like a elegant river of silky soft cherry, with not much need for decanting to open up. Its already there. Cellared perfectly and tasting gorgeous right now. From a very private vineyard that only Philippe Melka knew about and pulled grapes for one of his brands.
AVA DESIGNATED: Oakville, Napa Valley
WHAT WE PAIRED:
- Herb-crusted rack of lamb, homemade rice pilaf
- Grilled Ribeye, garlic-buttermilk mashed potatoes
- Chateaubriand, sauce bearnaise, potatoes Anna
PERSONALITY: The complexity of the vineyard shines through a progression of dark fruit, cherry, dusty cocoa, cool mint and more. Celia's extraordinary winemaking skills are on display. This vineyard is worthy of her talents.
