Chateau Montelena - The Montelena Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 1999 (750ml) Romanee-Saint-Vivant fresh take on Washington wineThe 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate (an 8,600 case cuvee made from yields of 1. 98 tons of fruit per acre) is considered by Bo Barrett to be a 'great' year. The wine boasts a saturated inky purple color as well as extraordinary density of fruit and cassis, and huge tannin, body, and extract. It is a substantial, palate staining, long, muscular Cabernet that should only be purchased by connoisseurs with cold cellars as well as patience.
