Description
1- 5 Liter 2005 Chateau Montelena Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
We suggest you chase this 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon from Chateau Montelena Estate until you catch it! According to The Wine Advocate, this Cab is "A lovely perfume of fresh herbs, loamy soil, black cherries and black currants. Spicy and very Bordeaux-like in this vintage. Should drink well for two decades or more." Robert Parker, Jr. gave it a rating of 91 points.
In 1976, Chateau Montelena helped put California at the forefront of the wine world as one of the two Napa Valley winners of The Judgment of Paris. The results proved that Chateau Montelena could produce some of the world's finest wines, and that California's wine industry had come of age. Today, this celebrated family-owned winery continues to thrive with Bo Barrett, son of Jim Barrett, at the helm.
