Gift from B&B! First impression. As I didn’t know what I grab from the cellar…got my attention….when I took sip. Let’s see…get back to ya all!…..dry in a good way like cellar/cedar dust….high nose, focused fruit - taste, structure….& balance in the 2 hours to enjoy! — 14 days ago

Pleasant and true to type Garnacha. Ruby red, floral, some Flintstone vitamin on the nose. Fruity and tannic.

Amazing heavy, bold wine with steak and balsamic mushrooms. Perfect pair for the price. Tonya de door grapes are bold and flavorful red wine option. — 2 months ago

1hr+ decant. Lovely dark red almost purple color. More oak than I was expecting but it was fairly well integrated with dark fruit. Medium plus depth and solid finish. — 5 months ago

Nose - Plum, candied orange, peat moss and wood. Mouthfeel - Velvety smooth up front, ending in a subtle pleasant astringency. Main flavors - Stone fruit and earth with a delicate acidic ending with a touch of dryness, like you get when you lick the pit of a nectarine, peach or plum. Overall - a gorgeously complex and lovely Pinot!! 1 million out of 10! — a month ago

Decant and pour. An amazing still dark garnet with bricking. On the nose: subtle notes of dark fruit, worn leather, herbaceous, pencil shavings, mint. Taste: savory, silky, elegant wine with some dried cherry/red plum, currants, tobacco, spice, earth, coffee grounds and a medium plus finish. YUM!!! Drinking beautifully for its age on this rain for an hour cool afternoon in Napa. — 4 months ago

Perfectly stored and the cork was immaculate. In terms of color and smell/taste, this has held up well. However, it is on the down-slide. Additionally, I just have never been blown away by Montelena estate red. Always seem to not live up to expectations. I love their whites. — a month ago
