Lot #1009. Chateau Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon The Montelena Estate 2016

Description: Consists of 3 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 94+ AG.
"The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is dark, ample and totally seductive. Black cherry, mocha, plum, spice, new leather and tobacco all meld together. Pliant and supple, the 2016 is already incredibly delicious. This is an especially mid-weight wine and style. Accordingly, the 2016 Estate will drink well with minimal cellaring. The Estate was bottled just two months before this tasting. I imagine it will put on some weight with further time in bottle. All the elements appear to be in the right place for that to happen." Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com, Dec 2018
Provenance: The Loma Mar Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $275
