Chateau Montelena Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Chateau Montelena Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is filled with juicy blackberries, rich cocoa, and cassis. After a few moments, dried cherry and a touch of tobacco, along with some wispy notes of fresh violets, come into focus. Density and concentration sum up the palate nicely, as tight-grained tannin is interwoven among fresh raspberry, mint, and hazelnut layers. The finish is seamless and complementary to the palate with strawberry jam, Earl Grey tea, and bright, refreshing acidity that pairs equally well with a wide range of cuisines.
