Chateau Montelena Description
Chateau Montelena Cabernet Sauvigno is a harmonious blend of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon and 9% Merlot. This remarkable wine originates from a unique growing season that culminated in a bountiful harvest, offering an unparalleled tasting experience.
With a nose of pure, powerful aromas, indulge in the captivating scents of fresh blueberries, blackberry pie, cassis, and enticing baking spices such as vanilla, clove, and cinnamon. The palate boasts a dense and chewy texture, revealing the true character of this Cabernet with bright red fruit, incredible tension, and fine-grained tannins. Savor the ever-changing layers of flavor and depth, as each glass brings a new and unique experience. The focused and stout finish elegantly marries rich cocoa, espresso bean, and black pepper with dark fruits, while tart raspberry and strawberry jam delicately linger.
Chateau Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon is a versatile wine, perfect for pairing with hearty dishes like roasted lamb, grilled steaks, or wild mushroom risotto. Its bold flavors also complement rich, savory cheeses such as aged cheddar or Gruyère, and it's an excellent match for dark chocolate desserts.
Wine Spectator: 90 Points
Solidly built, showing an array of singed vanilla and cocoa along the edges, with a core of steeped plum and blackberry compote flavors. The slightly chewy finish is scored by tar and savory accents, giving this a bit of an old-school bent in the end.
