Lot 66 Details
CHATEAU MONTELENA ESTATE CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2006
Napa.

The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate appears to have completely shut down, not surprising as Montelena’s Cabernet Sauvignons typically need plenty of time. The 2006 reveals medium to full body, austere tannins and lots of red and black fruits, dusty, loamy soil undertones and a hint of herbs/tobacco leaf. Give it another 4-5 years of bottle age and drink it over the following 20+. 91 WA


11 bts. per lot $1,100 - $1,300

Realised: $1,680
Price Includes Buyer's Premium ?
