Description

Enjoy this 8 bottle vertical of Napa Valley Estate Cabernet Sauvignon from Chateau Montelena, the winery that put Napa on the global wine map as retold in the recent film Bottle Shock.


Vintage 1992 through 1999, and of course, all professionally cellared. Robert Parker calls Chateau Montelena "a super hero for great California Cabernet Sauvignon for nearly 25 years," and that buying "Montelena's Estate Cabernet Sauvignons are equivalent to buying blue chip stock. They get better and better with age and as the vertical tastings I have attended so persuasively attest, they are still relatively young wines at 20 years of age!" His ratings:  1992 = 95; 1993 = 91; 1994 = 95; 1995 = 94; 1996 = 93; 1997 = 98; 1998 = 93; 1999 = 95.
