Chateau Montelena Description
Chateau Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley The Montelena Estate opens with an elegant burst of perfectly ripe blackberry and cranberry sauce aromas, setting the stage for a beautifully layered experience. In its youth, the nose leans into vibrant fruit and earthy tones, accented by hints of black pepper and cedar, while gentle swirls of the glass reveal deeper notes of mint, cassis, and black cherry. On the palate, intensity takes center stage as firm, angular tannins interact with silky, bright fruit, creating a dynamic and engaging balance. The finish is long and ever-evolving, moving from coffee bean to vanilla, then dried blackberry, before gradually transforming into nuanced flavors of fresh walnut and dark chocolate. This expressive Napa Cabernet is a thrilling partner for grilled steaks, prime rib, braised short ribs, truffle dishes, or rich aged cheeses, making every meal feel bold, refined, and unforgettable.
Antonio Galloni: 93 Points
The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate shows the racier, more voluptuous side of the vintage. A burst of super-ripe red cherry fruit, spice, mint, tobacco & cedar gives the wine an extra kick of exoticism that is a signature of the year, & a bit out of character for Montelena. Even so, the wine retains its super-classic sense of structure.
