Chateau Montelena is one of the oldest and most illustrious Napa estates 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’. 1991 was a superb vintage and this is an exceptional release of the Estate Cabernet Sauvignon. It is dense, broad and structured with exuberant notes of cassis, crushed minerals, baking spices, cedar and cigar smoke. One of the legendary releases from this iconic producer.

Vinous
The 1991 Chateau Montelena put the Pomerol in its place, incontrovertibly emerging as the star of the evening. The bouquet is utterly sublime, offering enticing scents of blackberries, iodine and a hint of cassis, opulent but beautifully controlled and defined. The palate does not disappoint, delivering plenty of fresh black fruit laced with raspberry preserve and cassis, all wrapped up in a seductive velvety texture that belies the structure underneath. Wonderful! Neal Martin1st October 2020
