Chateau Montelena Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2022 Review
Chateau Montelena is a renowned Napa Valley estate. It earned its fame in 1976 when it beat out top French Chardonnays in the historic Judgement of Paris tasting. But beyond great Chardonnay, this winery also makes a delightfully crisp Sauvignon Blanc. It has subtle fruit notes of kiwi, honeydew melon, and lemon with an intense minerality that adds complexity.
