Winemaker Notes
The wines at Chateau Montelena are often described as having classic "old-world" structure with ripe California fruit, the 2011 vintage is an excellent example of the stylistic target of this wine. What that means is that these wines tend to have more acid, lower pH and more moderate alcohol levels as compared to some of the flashy "modern" Cabs. This classic chemistry allows them to pair very well with a wide variety of dishes and sets them up for graceful aging.
