En mag and my last bottle of a wine that is so very near and dear to my heart. Both from a human and wine lover’s perspective. Still ample delicious fruit combined with tannic back bone. Structure, balance, pucker, polish; everything I love in an aged Montelena. Fortunate to share it with an extraordinary crew @Eric LaMasters @David L @Joe Lucca @Mike R @Shawn R @Aaron Hamrock — 9 days ago

This was a very generous gift bottle from my brothers-in-law, opened for our 25th anniversary. It took about 30 minutes to open up, at which point it was simply fantastic. Great effusive bouquet, a classic cab palate of cassis with a touch of eucalyptus, and a long, resonant finish. This was my first experience with Harlan and it reminded me most of the 1991 Montelena. Beautiful. — 5 days ago

Smoke on the water.... Deep Purple. Great song and this is a great wine. After 17 years in the bottle I was blown away the color of this wine and how vibrant it was. Easy 15 years left on this thing. I had the 04 a few weeks ago and it was good but lacked the fruit and precision this vintage has. — 14 days ago

Quality stuff—light minerality, solid fruit, good balance. Compares favorably with white burgundy at twice the price. Excellent food wine. Enjoyed the 2015 vintage with veal piccata. — 17 days ago

This is a 2012 Martial Zin. Very good! Surprising so. It was part of a wine club offering, so I didn't have high expectations. Marital is a small case winner we discovered from a sales rep from Chateau Montelena. I would buy on its own regardless of my wine club. Usually a Cab and Pinot guy. — 17 days ago

From the Conti cellar and in fine condition. Typical winery style which is balanced fruit and oak. Vineyard essence and terroir complete this multi faceted wine. So good 🍷🍷 — 2 months ago
