Chateau Montelena 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley, California

Description

The history of Chateau Montelena speaks for itself. With a pedigree that sits above almost all other wineries in the Napa Valley, you can expect great things from this wine. The wine is crafted from Montelena estate and prime neighboring vineyards located in the northern end of the Napa Valley, in and around Calistoga, next to primary or secondary tributaries of the Napa River. More specifically, each site has been selected for just the right soils, which provide an earthy, complex, and concentrated Cabernet Sauvignon. The fine tannins that come from the grapes and 16 months in oak bolster the spice flavors that lend to the wine’s complexity—a delicious wine to drink now or cellar for a few years.
