1999 Montelena Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

RP 95 The 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is considered by Bo Barrett to be a ‘great’ year. The wine boasts a saturated inky/purple color as well as extraordinary density of fruit and cassis, and huge tannin, body, and extract. It is a substantial, palate-staining, long, muscular Cabernet that should only be purchased by connoisseurs with cold cellars as well as patience. Drink now-2030.
