Chateau Montelena - Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley The Montelena Estate 1985 (750ml) Orange Muscat and dark chocolateWinemaker Notes The very low yields from our estate Cabernet vineyard make this wine the essence of Chateau Montelena. The unique characteristics the "terroir" of Montelena Cabernet are concentrated and extraordinarily preeminent in this wine. Beginning with the deeply tinted color, the nose follows with waves of constantly changing aroma: dried fruits, roses and violets, the rocky vineyard soil, cassis and leather, and the oak and cellar aromas
