Lot #602. Chateau Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon The Montelena Estate 2001

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 95 ST.
"Bright, dark red with ruby tones. Captivating floral lift to the very primary aromas of black cherry, cassis, minerals and earth, plus subtle notes of coffee and mocha. Tactile and sharply delineated, delivering a wonderful balance of sweet fruit and salty mineral and soil elements. Still linear but not at all angular, this penetrating wine finishes firmly tannic, classically dry, subtle and very long, with echoing mineral complexity. Really complete Cabernet here--and stuffed with flavor. (The estate began using a new Delta destemmer as of 2001)." Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com, Jun 2020
Provenance: The Maquereau Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $140
