Chateau Montelena Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
- 750 ml bottle
Product details
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is impressive. Elegant and poised, the 2018 is a wine of reserve at this stage. Dark red/purplish berry fruit, mint, sage, spice, mocha and dried flowers open first, followed by a kick of vibrant acids that lends notable energy throughout. All this young Cabernet needs is time in the bottle to fully come together. I won't be surprised if it turns out to be a touch more compelling than the 2019 tasted alongside it. Truth be told, both vintages are captivating, but for very different reasons. Superb. Drinking window: 2028-2043. Score - 96. (Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, Feb. 16, 2023)
