CHATEAU MONTELENA
"I can think of only three wineries that were making fabulous Cabernet Sauvignons in 1973 that have continued to produce great wines, with no qualitative slumps through 1995--Caymus Vineyard, Ridge, and Chteau Montelena. Because Chteau Montelena is "old" by California standards, it is easy to overlook the extraordinary wines produced by Jim Barrett and his son, Bo. Remarkably, there is not a bad vintage of Chteau Montelena to be found... For that reason, an invitation to a vertical tasting of Chteau Montelena's estate Cabernet is one of the most exciting tickets in town." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, Issue 102, 12/23/95
