About this bottle
Chateau Montelena's Calistoga Cuvée Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 is the more approachable sibling to the winery's flagship Estate Cabernet, sourced from vineyards around Calistoga at the north end of Napa Valley. Montelena has been making wine at the foot of Mount St. Helena since the 1880s and built its reputation on structured, age-worthy reds. This bottling brings blackberry, cassis, and dark chocolate on the nose, with black cherry and cedar layered through a rich, concentrated palate, closing on a long finish touched by baking spice and oak. The tannins are firm but not aggressive, making it drinkable sooner than the estate wine. It suits anyone who wants classic Napa Cabernet structure without waiting a decade to open it.
How to drink Chateau Montelena Calistoga Cuvée
Decant it for 30-45 minutes before serving, or just pour and let it breathe in the glass — either way it opens up noticeably. Serve around 62-65°F in a standard red wine glass next to a grilled ribeye, lamb chops, or aged cheddar, where the tannin has something to work against.
