Napa Valley Chardonnay 2016

Yellow with aromas of apple, lemon, herbs, wet stone, smoke, and petrol. On the bud, lemon, apple, pear, and a nice acidity. Finish is longer and full bodied. Great with our Grilled Swordfish. Aging nicely! — 2 months ago

The Montelena Estate Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

2015 vintage. Opened and decanted. Tasted after 2 hours open. Medium-medium heavy body. Some feminine-styled fruit offerings but lacking grip/tannins and balance. Underwhelming based on tasting this offering since 1983. BLNT. 12.04.25. — 2 months ago

@Scott@Mister A’s-San Diego, I’ve been lucky enough to taste older Montelena Cabs back as far as 1977, and while I have WAY LESS recent experiences (post-1995 vintages), I feel like there have been huge stylistic changes from the 1970s/1980s vintages, not necessarily for the better. But, that’s OK, just not for me personally.
