Item Description
Truly an exceptional wine, it earned 94 points from Robert Parker: "A great wine in the making, the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate (just under 10,000 cases produced) possesses a fragrant bouquet of sweet black currants, crushed rocks, earth and background oak. Full-bodied and dense, with Montelena’s typical power, tannin and reserved nature, this is a big, rich, formidably endowed red that requires 4-5 years of cellaring. That in itself is atypical of this exuberant, flamboyant vintage. Given this cuvee’s past history, this 2007 should age for 30+ years. "
And here is a description of this exceptional wine from the Chateau Montelena Winery:
"When we talk about vintages at Montelena, they are often categorized as 'hot' or 'cool'. Then occasionally there are years like 2007 which, because of their ideal conditions, earn the tag of 'Goldilocks' because everything was just right. Warm spring conditions led to earlier than normal bud break, while the moderate temperatures in summer and early fall further extended the growing season, resulting in long, slow ripening with fantastic flavor development and near-perfect juice chemistries".
