Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

Chateau Montelena, Notes from the Winemaker (hentet 17. okt. 2026): 2007 Montelena Estate Cabernet Sauvignon – høst: September 3 – October 4; fadlagring: 20 months, 100% French oak, 28% new; alkohol 14.3%; blend: 99% Cabernet Sauvignon 1% Cabernet Franc. Introduktion (producentens tekst, engelsk): 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 ideal conditions, earn the tag of “Goldilocks,” because everything was just right. Årgangens vejr (producentens tekst, engelsk): 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. Notes from Current Winemaker, Matt Crafton, June 2021
