1990 Chateau Montelena Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley (mid shouder fill)

(94 Points)  --  (Wine Advocate)

Medium to deep garnet-brick in color, the 1990 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate sings with amazing expressiveness, sporting crème de cassis, blueberry tart and dried roses on the nose with touches of cloves, cigar box and Bovril. Medium-bodied, the palate is chock full of expressive black and blue fruit preserves with velvety tannins and a long, spicy finish. (LPB)   Review Date: 02/2018
