International Wine Cellar Author: Stephen Tanzer Issue: Issue 114

Saturated, deep ruby-red. Quintessential cabernet aromas of blackcurrant, black cherry, dark chocolate, licorice, black olive, mint and earth, sweetened by some roasted oak tones. Dense, supple and seamless; much more concentrated than the basic Napa Valley bottling but also more pliant from the outset, even if it will need a good six to eight years of cellaring. Old-style, classic Napa cabernet with a powerful, building finish.

Montelena's backward, elegant, complex 2001 Estate reveals a dense ruby/purple color along with foresty, earthy notes intermixed with black currant characteristics as well as sweet tannin. Always a less ripe outlier (although it contains 14% natural alcohol), it will benefit from 2-3 more years of cellaring and should keep for at least 20 more years based on the extraordinary longevity Montelena Cabernet Sauvignons possess.

We may have opened this prematurely. Structure was present but there wasn't as much to it as expected. Nice nose but a lackluster finish.

Gorgeous wine that is really firing on all cylinders right now. Smooth drinking wine with a lip smacking mouth feel . Well balanced nose of dark jammie fruit, earth tones, cedar and sweet vanilla. Excellent balanced flavors of fruit, earth, cedar and baking spices. The spices and vanilla tastes linger nicely on a well integrated soft tannic finish.
