Wine Notes

Montelena topped the list of Chardonnay with their 1973 vintage in the Judgment of Paris. They have since gone on to establish themselves as a consistent, quality driven producer in the region particularly for Cabernet Sauvignon. 2010 was a vintage with a fruit forward appeal rather than the classic Cabernet style Montelena is known for. As a result it is more approachable in its younger years and has hit its stride already.

Producer Notes

A very consistent producer that offers value in Napa. Chateau Montelena focuses on Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. They made their name in the 1970โ€™s in the now famous Judgement of Paris tasting when their Chardonnay beat several top French producers. They have maintained their reputation over the years with the focus shifting more towards the reds they produce with the Estate Cabernet commanding the highest prices. Their lesser Bordeaux blend offers good value though and does surprisingly better some years than their top Cabernet offering.
