Chateau Montelena Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2010
This growing season was defined by the long, cool summer that led to slow, almost methodical ripening. The only exception was a brief but intense heat wave in the third week of August that caught a lot of growers with their proverbial pants down – they had opened up their canopies and ended up with lots of sunburn – but not Chateau Montelena. Four decades of experience have taught them to trust their vineyards, and once again they didn’t disappoint.
