The 2021 Chateau Montelena Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon showcases the estate’s commitment to crafting age-worthy, classically-styled wines. This vintage presents a dense and rich profile, with aromas of pomegranate, plum, dried blackberry, barrel toast, potpourri, and black pepper. The palate is dynamic, featuring a harmonious interplay of fruit, acid, and tannin, all tied together with fresh mint and graphite. Finishing notes of earth, baking spices, and toasted almond are complemented by chalky tannins, offering an elegant, restrained, and food-friendly wine.
