Chateau Montelena was featured on the Sips, Suds and Smokes podcast in a Napa-focused episode, airing October 2, 2020. The hosts tasted the 2017 and 2016 Chateau Montelena Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignons side by side during the conversation. Both wines received a 4/4 rating during the tasting, where they reflected upon a conversation they had with Winemaker Matt Crafton back in June. Tasting the wines side by side was also an opportunity to reinforce how the style of Montelena wines change year after year to honor the fruit, rather than prescribing to a specific formula.
