Our current release wines include the great selections below.
Pale gold in color, this Riesling opens with floral aromas of honeysuckle and candied orange, layered with pear, spicy honey, and rich Charentais melon. The palate shows a nice smooth entry; full and round, but not heavy, with good crisp acidity. Flavors of lemon zest and tart mandarins lead the way and are followed by light stone fruits, honey, and poached pear – all rounded off with a warm, subtle, spicy finish. As with all of Montelena’s offerings, this is a food wine, and should pair quite nicely with seared scallops (among other things).

Showing a pale golden color in the glass, this young wine opens with aromas of Charantais melon, good varietal grapefruit notes, brown sugar, honeysuckle, orange blossom, and a tropical hint of papaya. On the palate the firm acid core makes for a very juicy entry and nice persistant finish. It is rich and round, mouthcoating with excellent concentration. The flavors are largely citrus driven, honey tangerine initially moving into sweet grapefruit on the finish, but with lovely layers of tropical fruits as well – mango, guava, and papaya.

<EM>Notes from 2007 Petite Sirah Napa Valley...</EM><BR>The flavors echo the nose and are dominated by rich blueberry and black currant. The entry is full and soft with the tannin building slowly to a full, mouth-coating grip, all-the-while maintaining that fine texture for which Montelena is so famous. A very nice balance and good acid structure complete this powerful wine.

The nose is loaded with rich layers of spice, coconut, and brown sugar along with big fruit notes of plum, boysenberry, and hints of dried fruit as well. Beneath all that there is a rich but subtle earthliness reminiscent of hoisin. The palate opens smoothly with soft round tannins rolling across the tongue and a firm acid core, both working in harmony to establish the balance and structure of this wine. Ripe blackberry and bright strawberry flavors fill the mid-palate, all beautifully complemented by the nutty underlayer, and rounded out by the smoked meat notes on the finish.

Pale golden color in the glass, with the faintest hint of green belying its youth, this Chardonnay opens with rich and intense aromas of lemon, lime leaf, citrus flowers, and a touch of honey before moving into spicy pie crust and a hint of mascarpone creaminess &ndash; all topped with a nice flinty finish. The citrus trend continues on the palate with a firm acidity and tropical star fruit. This wine has excellent mouthfeel with big full texture and a mouthcoating creaminess that nicely complements the white stone fruit (nectarine and peach) and slight green apple fruit flavors. On the finish, look for a pleasantly subtle marzipan nuttiness.

This wine shows deep dense plum color with great density. The nose opens with anise and spice before moving into rich layers of blackberry and cherry compote. All that great concentrated fruit is beautifully complemented with barrel tones of vanilla and clove. It is quite youthful and lively on the palate with a good firm acid core – great for food pairing – and abundant velvety tannin.

The nose opens with big black cherry, currants, and plum spice cake notes. Underpinning all that fruit are layers of smoke, anise, and very subtle oak tones. The palate entry is soft and round, but builds quickly with loads of fine velvety tannin, huge black cherry, and red fruits that persist through to a rich finish layered with spice. A firm core of acid and barrel spice integrate beautifully across all layers, enhancing the structure and balance of this massive but approachable wine.
