Chateau Montelena
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Cassis and asparagus stalk on the nose leads into a slightly thin attack of red raspberry, with a more complex mid palate of mineral and blueberry.

Apr 14th, 2022Following up wine with the good friends (who are becoming my best friends if they keep this up). This time from the north end of Napa Valley, which always confuses me how the north end is warmer than the south end of the valley. (Bay breezes). Famous winery with historic past does not disappoint with their deep purple, dark blueberry and soft tannin wine.

Aug 12th, 2020Very good cab from magnum at winery. It’s smooth bodied and pretty easy to drink now after popping the cork. It did not strike me as something that will age for a long while. I guess I was hoping for more structure and evolution over lunch.

Nov 28th, 2021Smells of true Napa. Nice fruit forward, smooth going down, nice (light) amount of tannins for us. Silky. Special dinner night with the fam before my big man goes back to school.
