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 1970’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.
