2010 Chateau Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon Calistoga Calistoga (750ml)

"89 out of 100 - Bright, dark red. Reduced, medicinal aromas of redcurrant and tobacco show a clenched quality today. Then surprisingly supple if a bit reduced on the palate, with good depth and even a creaminess of texture to the medicinal flavors of cassis, bitter chocolate, mocha and herbs. Finishes with fairly smooth tannins and lingering notes of herbs and black olive. - Stephen Tanzer, vinous.com
