Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Chateau Montelena, Notes from the Winemaker (hentet 17. okt. 2026): 2014 Montelena Estate Cabernet Sauvignon – høst: September 1– October 6, 2014; fadlagring: 22 Months, 100% French, 35% New; alkohol 14.1%; blend: 97% Cabernet Sauvignon 2% Cabernet Franc 1% Petit Verdot. Introduktion (producentens tekst, engelsk): It’s always an incredibly special moment when we finish the final blend of our Estate Cabernet Sauvignon; when we’ve hit that perfect spot where the flavors, aromas, and textures reach the pinnacle of balance and expression. Our forty year legacy of recognizing the far-reaching consequences of how we farm, craft the wine, and blend, along with the ethos to agonize over every fundamental detail is what sets Chateau Montelena apart. Årgangens vejr (producentens tekst, engelsk): Budbreak did not arrive abnormally early despite the relatively warm winter and widespread concern over low rainfall. Mild weather, coupled with plenty of cool nights extended the growing season. In general, harvest was steady with no major rain events. Conditions were ideal.
