Description

BRAND Napa Valley’s stunning estate vineyards on Pritchard Hill combine the energy and power of the hillside with a character that is sophisticated and rare.

The See Clone Cabernet Sauvignon consistently stands out among several exceptional vineyard blocks. It was fermented in an Ermitage Oak upright to accentuate its bright fruit and velvet texture. A Taransaud T5 barrel was selected by the winemakers to deliver an expressive wine with perfect tension, freshness and nuance.

Philippe Melka

Winemaker, BRAND Napa Valley

Winemaker, Philippe Melka

My journey started at Chateau Haut Brion (where my passion for cabernet-based blends and sauvignon blanc began) and I completed a masters program in Agronomy and Enology under the direction of Professor Sequin, the renowned terroir specialist. I was fascinated by the relationship between soil and wine quality,
a fascination which continues today.

Yearning to know more, I set out for Napa Valley (Dominus Estate), Western Australia (Chittering Estate), Chianti in Italy (Badia O Coltibuono) and Bordeaux (Chateau Petrus) where I divided my time between soil study and winemaking. However, the great diversity of terroirs I found in Napa Valley, and its potential for extraordinary wines, was a revelation to me.
