Montelena Estate Cabernet Sauvignon - 1996 (750ml) large format This superb achievement is aA behemoth Cabernet Sauvignon is the stern, tannic, concentrated 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate (13. 5% alcohol). Full bodied, but closed, with gorgeously pure black fruits, powerful, loamy, earthy scents along with fruit and extract, this wine also needs 5 6 years of cellaring, and should easily last through the first 2 3 decades of the next century.
