Lot #651. Chateau Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon The Montelena Estate 2012

Description: Consists of 2 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 94+ AG.
"Montelena's 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is shaping up to be a jewel of a wine. Rich, ample and generous, but very much within the Montelena style, the 2012 captures the essence of the year in its pure resonance and sikiness. Dark red stone fruits, plums, menthol and tobacco with bramby undertones emerge over time, but the flavors are quite primary and undeveloped, all of which bode extremely well for the future. I expected the 2012 will offer a long and broad drinking window of pure pleasure." Vinous, Dec 2014
Provenance: The Caille Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $170
