Tasting note:

Vintages Wine Panel: Calistoga, Napa Valley Château Montelena made its reputation at the classic Judgement in Paris French/California taste-off in 1976. It continues to be at the forefront of winemaking in California. My note: Full-bodied, rich and complex. Pleasing aromas of plums, mocha and smoke.
