Located in Calistoga, Chateau Montelena has been regarded as one of true pioneers of fine Napa Cabernet since its inception in 1972. The celebrated team of owner Jim Barrett and winemaker Mike Grgich arguably ushered in a new era for California Cabernet with the first Chateau Montelena wines. 1974 the very first vintage of Cabernet that they produced. \"The first Montelena Cabernet, from purchased Russian River and Alexander Valley grapes, was very much alive, with rich curranty flavours with a hint of balsamic in the surprisingly long finish. Barrett says the high acidity held it together. Very much an old-school California Cabernet with fairly rustic tannins, it’s still enjoyable for its historic importance.\" Decanter, 2018","brand":"Chateau Montelena","offers":[{"title":"Duty Paid","offer_id":62414491255114,"sku":"HED9150","price":395.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/7696\/2634\/files\/HED9150.jpg?v=1781899805","url":"https:\/\/hedonism.co.uk\/products\/chateau-montelena-cabernet-sauvignon-1974","provider":"Hedonism Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
