Chateau Montelena Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
Chateau Montelena is one of California's historic wineries and consistent producers of some of the best Cabernet Sauvignon in Napa Valley. Another great Montelena Cabernet. 90 Points Wine Spectator: "Solidly built, showing an array of singed vanilla and cocoa along the edges, with a core of steeped plum and blackberry compote flavors. The slightly chewy finish is scored by tar and savory accents, giving this a bit of an old-school bent in the end. Best from 2023 through 2034."

Sipping Fine Wine 
Deep Ruby with aromas of berry fruits with spice, herb and earthy notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry, ripe cherry and blueberry with currants, cacao, cinnamon and tobacco notes. Fine tannins, good structure, long finish, great mouthfeel, ending with cedar, fruit and tobacco vanilla notes. Very Nice. Will benefit from aging!

Good wine (hence the score), but certainly not worth the price.

Introduced to me by @Skip Smyser years ago. The 2019 continues to impress with dark fruit and baking spices. Lots of layers and smoother tannins than most Napa reds. Happy 4th!
