Chateau Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon

The palate is structured, dark‑fruited, and tightly focused, opening with blackcurrant, blackberry, and black cherrylifted by fresh, medium‑plus acidity that keeps the wine energetic despite its depth. Tannins are firm, fine‑grained, and confidently built, giving classic Montelena architecture without heaviness. The mid‑palate shows graphite, cedar, tobacco leaf, and dark cocoa, adding savoury complexity beneath the concentrated fruit. The finish is long, dry, and mineral‑lined, leaving cassis, cedar spice, and a clean, stony echo that signals age‑worthiness.
