Montoya


Name: Montoya
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Napa Valley, California
Country: United States
Year: 2008
Price: $16.99

Winery review: This elegant and smooth offering from the heart of Napa Valley displays an abundance of blackberry, plum and currant flavors tempered by a hint of toasty oak. A great value for a wine from this prestigious region. Match with grilled steak, lamb or sausage.

My review: This wine had a deep aromatic smell of berries. The taste was very dry and tannic but sort of refreshing on the mid palate. At the end the wine still feels very tannic. I felt this wine was a little unbalanced since I felt more going on through the mid palate and just a plain taste at the end. I did not try this wine with food.
