Dark-toned cassis and black plum lead the 2015 Chateau Montelena Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, framed by hints of graphite, warm spice, and a subtle floral lift. The palate is compact yet polished, with vibrant black and red fruits riding on fine, firm tannins that give the wine both authority and precision. This is an intense, structured Montelena that shows the concentration of the vintage while retaining notable freshness and a very long, focused finish.
Dry-aged ribeye with rosemary and garlic; herb-crusted lamb chops; mushroom and Gruyère burger on brioche.

Chateau Montelena’s Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a distinct cuvée from their famed Calistoga estate bottling, designed as a broader expression of Napa through fruit sourced primarily from the estate plus select sites in eastern Calistoga and Oak Knoll. Typically a Cabernet–Merlot blend aged in French and Eastern European oak, it marries dark berry and cassis fruit with baking spice, cocoa, and fine-grained tannins, crafted to be approachable in its youth yet capable of aging gracefully for well over a decade.
