Weekly Sommelier Recommendation Review

Cabernet Sauvignon • Calistoga, Napa Valley, California

Chateau Montelena Estate

97 Points Bottle Price: $185

"A titan of structure that carries the torch of Napa legend."

The legendary producer behind the Judgment of Paris continues to excel. This estate Cabernet is a titan of structure and grace. Deep garnet in color, it presents an intricate bouquet of cassis, tobacco leaf, and cedar. On the palate, it is dense and powerful, yet possesses a surprising acidity that keeps the heavy fruit in check. A true collector's piece.
