Chateau Montelena Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Napa Valley

July 10, 2025 - Chateau Montelena sets the benchmark for Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon with its classically-styled, age-worthy wines.

A portion of each vintage is held back and periodically re-released as part of the winery’s decade re-release program, allowing consumers to experience library vintages alongside the current release.
