Powerful, bold and luscious, the 2018 is a headspinning beauty. Dark red\/purplish berry fruit, licorice, mint and cedar open first. A firm backbone of tannin and acid lurks beneath all of that fruit richness. The 2018 is a wonderfully complete wine to treasure and savor over the next 15-20 years, maybe more. It is one of the very finest wines I have tasted from Philippe and Cherie Melka.\" \u003c\/span\u003eVinous - 98 Points\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FineLiquors","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42852816945323,"sku":"30","price":169.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0107\/5009\/9519\/files\/MelkaMetisseJumpingGoat2018F.jpg?v=1692210256"},{"product_id":"2017-melka-metisse-jumping-goat-vineyard","title":"2017 Melka 'Metisse' Jumping Goat Vineyard","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis is a very tight, focused red with blackberries, blueberries and licorice.
