98% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1.5% Petit Verdot, 0.5% Cabernet Franc.
22 months in French oak, 40% new.
Deep ruby.
Pronounced nose with blackcurrant, cedar, black plum, chocolate, raspberry, black cherry, mint, vanilla.
Pronounced on the palate with lots of rich blackcurrant. High acidity, high tannins, high alcohol, full body, long finish.
Lovely, rich and elegant wine - great length, intensity and complexity. Surprisingly already drinking very well but would love to try a mature bottle.

More fruit forward than most montelena estate wines. A testament to the vintage. Very nice

Highly structured, medium body. Guessing it will take a long time to develop and mature.
