Tasting Note

NOSE - Pure and powerful, this wine opens with fresh blueberries, blackberry pie and cassis. The endless dark fruit is complemented by a range of baking spices: vanilla at first, but also clove and cinnamon. PALATE - The first sip instantly reveals the character of this Cabernet: dense and chewy with bright red fruit, incredible tension and pure, fine grain tannins. Not only is everything in its place; but the layers of flavor, the depth of the fruit and the sublime texture are constantly rearranging. Each glass will be a unique experience. FINISH - In contrast to the dynamic palate, the finish is focused and stout. Abundant cocoa, espresso bean and black pepper dovetail into dark, black fruit while tart raspberry and strawberry jam linger.

Product Notes

Chateau Montelena Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a rich, full-bodied wine that stands out as a remarkable example of the quality of grapes grown in Napa Valley. The nose is filled with aromas of dark fruit and cassis, with a touch of vanilla and oak. The palate is bold and complex, featuring layers of blackberry, currant, and chocolate, along with well-integrated tannins and a long, lingering finish. This wine is crafted in a traditional Bordeaux style, with 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes sourced from some of the top vineyards in Napa. Chateau Montelena Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is an ideal pairing for hearty dishes such as steak or lamb, and is equally enjoyable on its own.
