Château Montelena, Cabernet Sauvignon--Vintage 1996
1 dozen bottles per lot
CHATEAU MONTELENA Since 1882, there has been a chteau and winery on the site of Montelena (a contraction of Mount St. Helena). The site of the estate vineyards on the lower slopes of Mount St. Helena to the North of Calistoga was chosen for the stony and well drained soil, perfect for the cultivation of vines. Whilst wine production ceased during Prohibition, like so many California wineries, wine has been made continuously since the repeal. Château Montelena, Cabernet Sauvignon--Vintage 1996 Napa Valley Both lots in original carton Parcel: lots 76-77 "A behemoth Cabernet Sauvignon is the stern, tannic, concentrated 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate (13.5 alcohol). Full-bodied, but closed, with gorgeously pure black fruits, powerful, loamy, earthy scents along with fruit and extract, this wine also needs 5-6 years of cellaring, and should easily last through the first 2-3 decades of the next century."
