Established in 1882, the iconic Chateau Montelena played a pivotal role in putting California on the map for fine wines, particularly after its noteworthy win at the 1976 ‘Judgement of Paris’. Renowned for their European-styled and remarkably long-lived Cabernet Sauvignon, the true charm and character of their wines unfold with ageing. This 2008 vintage showcases floral aromas alongside flavours of dark fruit, blackberry, and cassis. Integrated tannins complement the refreshing acidity, contributing to a well-balanced palate.
