Melka Metisse Jumping Goat Vineyard 2014

This wine has our most loyal following and it is no surprise as to why.  Similar to the Graves region in Bordeaux, the wine is perfumey, with a velvety texture so signature of the Jumping Goat. Aromatics of dark fruit, graphite, tar and creosote are complimented in a wine that exhibits opulence and softness harmoniously. The finish on this fabulous 2014 is bigger than previous years and we suggest decanting a good three hours prior to serving.

The 2014 Metisse Jumping Goat Vineyard is composed of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and 15% Petit Verdot. Surprisingly strong for this vintage, it exhibits notes of blue and red fruits, charcoal, white chocolate, coffee bean and wood. Medium to full-bodied with soft, round, ripe, pure fruit notes that linger on the palate, this very fine 2014 can be consumed over the next decade.
