Merchant's description

Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 is a full-bodied red wine from the Napa Valley. This vintage showcases a firm structure, with primary flavours of blackcurrant, plum and a hint of cedar. Undertones of graphite and earthy notes emerge, contributing to its complexity. The texture is dense, with a noticeable tannic grip that suggests longevity. The wine reflects Cabernet Sauvignon’s characteristics while incorporating the nuances from the vineyard’s unique terroir. Montelena Winery, established in 1882, is recognised for its commitment to traditional winemaking practices, emphasising the importance of their estate-grown fruit.
