Founded in 1882, the illustrious Chateau Montelena is an iconic Napa estate and undoubtedly helped place California on the fine wine map when it took out one of the top prizes at the 1976 ‘Judgement of Paris’. The 1997 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the finest ever iterations of this cuvée. It is bold, complex and deep, with abundant sweet fruit, subtle savoury accents and superbly ripe tannic structure. A beautiful wine now really hitting its stride.
