Chateau Montelena - The Montelena Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 1999 (750ml) Petit Rouge 50% of the vines wereThe 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate (an 8,600 case cuvee made from yields of 1. 98 tons of fruit per acre) is considered by Bo Barrett to be a 'great' year. The wine boasts a saturated inky purple color as well as extraordinary density of fruit and cassis, and huge tannin, body, and extract. It is a substantial, palate staining, long, muscular Cabernet that should only be purchased by connoisseurs with cold cellars as well as patience.
