The 2005 Chateau Montelena Estate is such a beautiful and elegant Cabernet. It shows gorgeous aromas and flavors of black cherry, tobacco, smoke and mineral. This is well made, structured and focused with a seamless finish, but its the elegance and freshness that I really love here. A stunning wine from Montelena and drinking perfect right now.
