Montelena, The Montelena Estate Cabernet Sauvignon other_regions_italy aged for 20 months inCurrently being offered to mailing list members as part of a three vintage pack (2008, 2013, 2018 for $700), the 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is a killer wine that should continue to drink well for another 15 years or so.

Medium to full bodied, it's silky, aristocratic in bearing and long on the finish.
