The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Jumping Goat Vineyard Métisse is fabulous. Dense and quite savory the 2021 posse
The 2021 Metisse Jumping Goat Vineyard checks in 92% Cabernet Sauvignon 4% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot. Another classic 2021 from this talented winemaker it offers gorgeous darker red and black currant fruits lots of graphite crushed stone and hints of espresso medium to full body ripe tannins and a great finish.
The 2021 Metisse Jumping Goat Vineyard comes from a site next to Spottswoode on the western side of St. Helena. A blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% each Merlot and Petit Verdot it showcases attractive notions of ripe cherries florals (violets?) and clean dusty earth. Medium to full-bodied it's velvety in feel yet vibrant at the same time with a long lush finish. It's a beautiful wine concentrated and harmonious approachable now yet capable of evolving for 20 years. In addition to dozens of consultancies through Atelier Melka winemaker Philippe Melka has his own Napa Valley label as well. Mekerra is a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc sourced from Knights Valley while there are two Metisse wines based on Cabernet Sauvignon. Jumping Goat Vineyard comes from a St. Helena site next to Spottswoode; Martinez comes from Pritchard Hill. Published: Jan 31 2024
