Tasting Notes

Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Jan 20
The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate shows the racier, more voluptuous side of the vintage. A burst of super-ripe red cherry fruit, spice, mint, tobacco and cedar gives the wine an extra kick of exoticism that is a signature of the year, and a bit out of character for Montelena. Even so, the wine retains its super-classic sense of structure. Today, the 2017 is clearly still recovering from its recent bottling a few months ago, but it has so much to offer.

Jancis Robinson Jancis Robinson - 28 Nov 22
99% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Cabernet Franc. Aged for 22 months in 100% French oak (40% new).Pretty deep crimson with a slightly evolved rim. Savoury but not that intense aroma. Really mouth-filling and complete with the fruit covering the ripe tannins well. Opulent. Sweeter than some. Long. California? (JR)
Drinking Date: 2020 - 2030
