Chateau Montelena

Chateau Montelena is a historic Napa Valley winery established in 1882, famous for its Chardonnay's victory at the 1976 Judgment of Paris. Located in Calistoga, the estate produces exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon from hillside vineyards, combining traditional winemaking with Napa Valley's unique terroir and volcanic soils.

Chateau Montelena's Cabernet Sauvignon showcases the power and elegance of Napa Valley, with rich blackberry and cassis flavors complemented by structured tannins and notes of cedar, tobacco, and dark chocolate. The winery's estate vineyards benefit from volcanic soils and optimal sun exposure, producing grapes with exceptional concentration and complexity. Their wines undergo traditional fermentation and aging in French oak barrels, creating Cabernets known for their longevity and sophisticated balance.
