A gem of a cabernet from Napa Valley's famed Pritchard Hill. It's almost hard to believe there is a Pritchard Hill Cabernet for $50, but we found it! Montagna is Bob Long’s newest project, not far from David Arthur, which Bob founded with his brother David. Not only do the brothers share space on arguably Napa’s finest real estate, but they also share the talents of winemaker Nile Zacherle. Pritchard Hill is home to wines like Colgin, Continuum and others that sell for $150+ at least. Don't miss this delicious Cabernet from an up-and-coming producer. 92 Points Robert Parker: "The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Tre Vigneti is imbued to the core with the vibrant energy of the year. Black cherries, plums, sweet spices and violets seem to jump from this firm, beautifully delineated wine. For an entry-level Cabernet, there is no denying the 2010 is gorgeous. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024....Montagna winery is Bob Long’s new project on Pritchard Hill, not far from David Arthur, which Bob founded with his brother David. Nile Zacherle, the winemaker at David Arthur, is also in charge at Montagna. These early releases suggest Montagna is another of the rising stars in Napa’s hottest neighborhood."

Notes of cedar and pencil shavings on the nose with flavors of cassis, blackberry, and leather.

Youth with balance. Herbal and earthy nose, spicy and dark fruit. Bold and velvet in the mouth, rich streaks of tannin and acid well cloaked in a luscious mouth feel. Long, balanced finish.
