Founded in 1882, the illustrious Chateau Montelena is an iconic Napa estate and undoubtedly helped place California on the fine wine map when it took out one of the top prizes at the 1976 ‘Judgement of Paris’. The 1996 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon exudes delicious black fruits with more savoury inflections of ground coffee, graphite, cigar smoke and cedar. A classic example of Cabernet from this exceptionally consistent producer.

Good ruby-red. Spicy, roasted aromas of cassis, black plum, toasty oak and pepper. Lush, jammy and a bit undifferentiated; showing its baby fat today. Seems distinctly less lively than the '95, but the tannins are quite fine for the vintage and there excellent finishing persistence.Stephen Tanzer1st May 1999
