Chateau Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2019

Product description
Everyone fondly remembers the wines from 2005 or 2013 when quality was simply there for the taking, and that was the case with 2019. Amusingly, as a winemaker, our favourite vintages are typically those that follow a Hollywood-esque storyline with unforeseen challenges, plenty of character development, and of course a final victory. With that said, it is just as gratifying to hit that pitch out of the park if the opportunity is there. Moreover, while it’s true that every vintage builds character, growing seasons like 2019 beget gratefulness and reflection in reminding us why Napa Valley in general and the Montelena Estate vineyard in particular are so special. In short, this vintage exemplifies all of the characteristics that one could seek in delicious, age-worthy wine. -Winemaker Matt Crafton

This red wine shows a deep, dense, black ruby colour. It offers complex aromatics of berry, cedar, liquorice, and classic Cabernet which, combined with its rich, underlying fruit concentration, should please the most discriminating wine lover.
