CHATEAU MONTELENA
Since 1882, there has been a château and winery on the site of Montelena (a contraction of Mount St. Helena). The site of the estate vineyards on the lower slopes of Mount St. Helena to the North of Calistoga was chosen for the stony and well drained soil, perfect for the cultivation of vines. Whilst wine production ceased during Prohibition, like so many California wineries, wine has been made continuously since the repeal. On a recent visit to the winery, I was impressed by the quality of the estate wines, especially the Cabernet Sauvignon which such concentration from low yields.

"Starting to mature; deliciously sweet nose and taste, rich, with edgy tannin and acid finish. We were informed that the wine had long chain tannins' and that it had not yet lost its puppy-stage fruit. At the Wine Experience, New York, Oct 2000 **(**)" MB, Vintage Wine
