Chateau Montelena – Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley The Montelena Estate 2017

Chateau Montelena – Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley The Montelena Estate 2017 is produced in California with fruit sourced from vineyards selected for balance and varietal clarity. Hand harvesting and smalllot vinification allow careful control of fermentations, with an emphasis on clean extraction and preservation of fruit integrity.

Fermentation is conducted in stainless steel or small opentop tanks, depending on the varietal, with pumpovers or punchdowns managed to achieve structure without harshness. Aging takes place in a mix of French and American oak barrels, where time in wood refines texture and brings added complexity without masking the grapes natural profile.

Each vintage reflects a commitment to sustainable vineyard practices and precise cellar work, yielding a wine that stands as a faithful expression of both varietal and region.
