Chateau Montelena Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2019, Napa Valley 90+ Rating 5% Monastrell Sant Sadurní d’AnoiaThis wine has a delightful perfume of fresh flowers, lavender, plum, sandalwood, cherry compote, Earl Grey, bergamot, black pepper, vanilla, crushed rock, and soy. The palate is initially bright and zesty, with raspberry and cranberry flavors followed by chalky tannins. The finish is structured, with espresso bean and cacao, baking spices, and subtle sweetness. 99 Points Decanter Region: Napa Valley, California Grape Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
