Score 95/100 · Drink 2026-2037, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Nov 2025

The 2022 Red Wine Martinez Vineyard is another terrific wine from Philippe and Cherie Melka. This is so dialed in. The blend of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot works quite well. Dark-toned fruit, new leather, rose petal, menthol and blood orange infuse the 2022 with tons of complexity. Beautifully done.

The 2022 Metisse Cabernet Sauvignon Martinez Vineyard is terrific and has a great nose of crème de cassis, graphite, and violets. This carries to full-bodied, concentrated, remarkably well-balanced, and structured red offering sweet tannins and a great finish. It’s a beautiful wine on all accounts, and it’s an undeniable success in this more challenging vintage.
