Chateau Montelena, a Napa Valley icon since 1882, redefined American wine with its 1973 Chardonnay’s victory in Paris. The legacy lives on in their 2021 Chardonnay, where historical depth meets aromatic splendor. Expect a bouquet of chamomile and honeysuckle evolving into lemon balm, cinnamon, and mint. The palate delights with minerality, lemon curd, and crème brûlée—a true testament to Montelena’s storied excellence.

A warm, rich concentrated year, very much the opposite of 16. We wanted to express the characteristics of the vintage, looking at different picking windwos, lots of lemon curd, wet stone and brightness, tons of fresh white pepper and caramom, a consistent ripe stone fruit finish carries the wine out.
