Vinous

"The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is heady and quite extroverted, especially compared with the 2018 tasted alongside it. Readers will have a very hard time keeping their hands off this jewel of a wine. Silky, plush tannins wrap around a core of dark fruit, chocolate, lavender, spice and leather. The combination of a generous, opulent style with the classically-leaning Montelena style makes for a hugely appealing Cabernet to drink over the next two decades or more."

Wine Advocate

"I tasted the soon-to-be-released 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate from two bottles, one freshly opened and one that had been opened the day before. Both were clearly outstanding, with the freshly opened bottle being just a bit tighter and less luxuriously textured but obviously packed with potential. Mixed currants and cherries appear on the nose, joined by hints of dark chocolate, while the palate is medium to full-bodied, rich, expansive and velvety, with a lingering, mouthwatering finish." 96+ Points

Decanter

"The flagship wine of Chateau Montelena sourced from the winery's estate vineyard adjacent to the chateau near the base of Mount St Helena. Compact and restrained at first; give it some air and good things will come. Bright red-toned fruits and dried wild herb notes are tethered to rich cedar spices. Well-endowed with impressive depth and concentration, particularly evident in the mid-palate which is weighted by crushed stones and earthen minerality. Elongated tannins are crisp while acids are firm and tangy. Those capable of looking past its upfront approachability will be rewarded with patience as this wine will evolve and shine over the next four decades."

About This Wine

2019 CHATEAU MONTELENA THE MONTELENA ESTATE CALISTOGA CABERNET SAUVIGNON Chateau Montelena is most well known for defying the odds in the 1976 Judgement of Paris, a pivotal blind tasting where their 1973 Chardonnay won first place among several renowned French white wines. The winery was founded in 1882 and acquired by James Barrett in 1972, who, along with his son Bo, led the winery to success and international acclaim. Nestled along the Northern reaches of Calistoga, the Estate's Cabernet Sauvignon vines bask in the sun's radiant warmth, fostering the emergence of robust flavors and rich hues. Rather than striving for uniformity in each vintage, the winery endeavors to capture the unique characteristics that define each year's production. Aged 22 months in French oak, the virtually perfect 2019 Montelena Estate Cabernet boasts an immaculate structure that will stand the test of time and reflect this exceptional vintage from Napa and the winery's historical legacy.
