Philippe Melka, a Bordeaux native, launched his winemaking career at the top, starting with Château Haut-Brion after completing Oenology school. He then worked with Christian Moueix and joined Dominus Estate in Napa in 1991, where his study of Napa soils became pivotal. His global journey continued at prestigious wineries like Badia a Coltibuono in Chianti and Château Pétrus in Bordeaux, refining his expertise.

Returning to Napa in 1994, Melka became a sought-after consultant, specializing in small-production, high-end family wineries such as Bryant Family, Dalla Valle, and Hundred Acre. As co-proprietor of Melka Wines, he crafts soil-driven wines. Drawn to Crescere by the Reynoso family’s history, he saw the potential for creating something remarkable and authentic.

 

Included In 2-Pack:

Proprietary Chardonnay
"Bright aromas of cantaloupe, honeydew melon and grilled apples give way to wild mountain thyme with undertones of hazelnut, cinnamon and nutmeg. On the palate you find a lovely mouth-coating sensation that carries those flavors through along with an underlying earthy note that reminds us of turmeric, and enough acidity to make you want to keep returning to your glass over and over again.​"
-Winemaker Notes

Ageing: French oak, 2nd and 3rd use. Native malolactic fermentation, aged on lees with battonage for 16 months.

Proprietary Pinot Noir
"Boysenberry, blueberry and fresh dates marry with spiced plum, basil, fresh bay leaf and hibiscus to lead the heady aroma of this wine. On the palate, these flavors are delivered with a bright, silky feeling and you begin to notice undertones of soft cheese rind and freshly cured meat that help to deliver a truly complex and memorable wine."
-Winemaker Notes

Ageing: French oak barrels, 25% new. Aged on lees with battonage for 16 months
