Great wine, aged 39 years and not old (might have Ben better a few years ago?). Great aroma with chocolate and dark fruit. The chocolate and fruit along with currents and a hint of leather on the tongue. It was decanted and kept getting better until it was gone — 7 days ago

Very nice..hints of raisin, light body, but not too light. Great wine with a smoked ribeye on my wife's July 4th birthday! — 5 months ago

Mature dark fruit aromas and flavors, balanced and not too tannic, will be great with the steak, long finish, very fine (but not fantastic) Montelena Cab! — a month ago

Speechless…1976 and still alive today! Absolutely stunning and a beautiful example of what Montelena is known for. — 2 months ago

Followed the 1997 vintage with the newly released 2018 Merlot, the first production in 23 years. Ruby red in color with sweeter smells of dark cherry, vanilla and licorice. Medium body with a smooth, silky texture. Soft and elegant berry palate with a cranberry and boysenberry finish. Very easy to drink for a Merlot. — 6 months ago
