Praise from Robert M. Parker, Jr.

See what America's most influential wine critic says about
Chateau Montelena's current releases

2005 Montelena Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
Outstanding. "A lovely perfume of fresh herbs, loamy soil, black cherries and black currants. Spicy and very Bordeaux-like. Should drink well for two decades or more." - 91 Points

2007 Napa Valley Chardonnay
Outstanding. "Aromas of white peaches, apple skins, and crushed rocks presented in a fresh, medium-bodied, dry, zesty format." - 90 Points

2006 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Very Good. "It possesses good berry fruit and seductive tannins. A very fine glass of Cabernet."- 87 Points

2006 Montelena Estate Zinfandel
Very Good. "A sexy effort with crisp acidity, fresh berry fruit, plenty of pepper and spice, and no hard edges." - 87 Points
