The Montelena Estate Calistoga Cabernet Sauvignon

Nice balancing act of dark fruits, clove, and vanilla with plenty of life left

10 years on and just getting started.

Top notch wine in its prime.

Took more than 24 hrs to begin to open up. Sleek, hints of green herbs, great acid, and a delicious array of red and black fruit, soft tannins, and well-integrated alcohol. You'd never guess was 14.3% abv. Wish we had more!

2007 vintage. Nice balance of full-throttle fruit and big tannins. Throwing a respectable amount of sed

Drank a 2007 in 2020! Still holds is own, but not a favorite cab of mine

Lovely appearance with bold nose and soft but luxurious tannins. This is why you have a wine cellar. Continues to improve.

Nice treat to have, fresh blackberry, coffee, herbs. Very well balanced. Has lots of life in the bottle.

A fine example of Napa cab... Drinking beautifully now and many years of life left. Nice silky tannins and long finish!

This is excellent - smooth, powerful, right in the middle of the drinking window
