We just received our allocation of 2010 Chateau Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon! This wine has pedigree, style and remains a great value. At just $42.99/bottle, this monstrous red wine (93% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Merlot) is indeed considered a California Cult for a reason.
Incredible nose of dark, brambly fruits and a hint of vanilla along with some eucalyptus. This leads into a mouth-coating blend of wonderful raspberry fruit, chocolate and truffles. With an hour or so of decanting, this wine can be enjoyed now and will continue to drink well for another 10 - 15 years!
This wine also has 92 points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate and tastes like a California Cabernet with double the price tag. We only received 10 cases, so get some today and also check out our amazing selection of back-vintage Montelena Cabernets, including the estate bottlings from 1988, 1996, 1998 and 2009.
These Cabernets age like fine Bordeaux. So whether you're a California Cabernet or Bordeaux fan, these big, red wines will fit the bill. The choice is yours to drink now and enjoy the big upfront fruitiness of these wines, or put them in the cellar to wait for the secondary and tertiary "Old World" flavors to develop. Either way, these wines are great and built to last. Get some today, before they sell out!
