  Deep dark raspberry, dark chocolate, dried herbs. Amazing with Dijon Wagyu on the grill

  Deep purple
  Campfire, earth, and ripe plum on the nose
  Lemon, lime blackberries flavors.
  
  Nice balance, full-bodied and elegant. Very fresh as it decants, recommend at least 45 minutes decanting

  Too young. The red fruit is dominant with plenty of vanilla, but it lacks the needed balance. With breathing some tannin breaks through. The quality is there, but I think this wine needs more time to mature and integrate.

  Needs more time, but will be an outstanding Montelena in about 6-8 years
