The Montelena Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2010 is a full-bodied red wine sourced from an historic estate in Calistoga, Napa Valley. Established in 1882, Montolena features varied soils and microclimates that contribute to the wine`s complexity. The 2010 growing season was marked by cool temperatures, promoting extended ripening. Aromas of blackcurrant, plum and a hint of tobacco marry with earthy undertones. The palate exhibits structured tannins, leading to a finish featuring dark fruit and subtle hints of spice.

Bright red-ruby. Exceptional aromatic purity and complexity to the aromas of blueberry, cassis, cocoa powder, mocha, spices and minerals; some very ripe berry pie notes emerged with air. Wonderfully creamy, silky and deep; an utterly seamless wine with the underlying soil-driven minerality to energize and frame its fleshy flavors of dark fruits and spices. This is yet another 2010 whose impression of refinement belies the weather extremes of the growing season. Finishes with building but perfectly integrated tannins and outstanding length. This is already approaching its plane of peak drinkability but I'd still want to hold my bottles for at least a few more years.
