Dark-toned fruit drives the 2022 Chateau Montelena Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, with dense blackcurrant and blueberry layered over cocoa, graphite and a cool, earthy mineral streak. The palate is concentrated yet composed, offering creamy depth framed by firm, finely etched tannins and a long, savory finish that promises years of positive evolution.

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.
