The Chateau Montelena Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 is a powerful, full-bodied, and complex wine, noted for its rich dark fruit flavors, prominent cedar, and firm tannins that have mellowed beautifully with age. It is widely considered to be from an outstanding "Goldilocks" vintage for Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.
Tasting Notes-
- Nose: The aroma is huge and powerful, featuring rich layers of black cherry, blackcurrant, and cassis, complemented by notes of spice, cedar, earth, and tobacco leaf. Other nuances include dried cherries, cinnamon, bergamot, cocoa, and hints of violet and graphite.
- Palate: The palate is rich, round, juicy, and mouth-coating, delivering intense dark fruit flavors (black cherry, blackberry, plum) before transitioning to brighter red fruits like raspberry jam and tart cherry. Subtle tones of butterscotch, anise, and sweet oak add complexity.
- Finish: The wine has a remarkably long and persistent finish, showcasing a classic structure of fine-grained, velvety tannins and firm acidity that provides freshness and tension. Notes of black currant, ripe plum, licorice, cocoa, and espresso bean can linger on the finish.
Expert and User Opinions-
- Aging Potential: This wine was built to age, with experts from sources like Robert Parker's Wine Advocate initially recommending several years of cellaring. As of recent reviews (late 2024/early 2025), users on CellarTracker note that the tannins have mostly resolved and the wine is drinking beautifully, with plenty of life left.
