Lot #383. Chateau Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: . VM.
"Full ruby-red. Less funky on the nose than the 2005, offering notes of cassis, licorice, cedar and pepper. A juicy midweight with good life in the mouth and a restrained sweetness. Bo Barrett told me that he waited a couple of extra weeks for the last cabernet to ripen, and that the acids remained high. The blend was put together later than usual and will require time to harmonize. This lacks the jammy richness of some vintages from earlier this decade, but that's not a bad thing." Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2008
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $55
