Nose of dark cassis, dry florals and coffee grounds. Ripe fruits that finish dry. Blackberries, dark cherries, black raspberries, strawberries paint the background, black tea, coffee grounds, fresh leather, dry stems, moist black earth, dry stone, some black licorice, black cherry cola, bright acidity, nice polish on the finish. This Montrose is well made. The structure, balance, length, tension, depth are in real harmony. Just needs 15 more years to be magical. — 9 years ago

Beautiful structure. Moving it around my tongue, there is not a single flavor bit in harmony. Terrific elegance. Grape jelly, spice, chalk, gravel, striking minerality and length. — 9 years ago

Really good, smooth full bodied and drinkable. Tastes expensive, also very very similar to "Earthquake", by Michael David Winery which I like. — 10 years ago

A softened ruby color. Beautiful balance, everything in harmony. Wet earth, raspberry, cinnamon, a whiff of truffle, intoxicating nose. So much ripe, fresh red fruit on the palate. Such soft tannins, damson plum, a mineral streak running through. Drinking a 15 year old wine for 15th anniversary of diabetes. This is splendid in the moment — 8 years ago

Drinking really well right now. Plenty of fruit left. Blackberry, smoked meat and spice, all in perfect harmony. Paired beautifully with ribs. — 9 years ago

Looking like a young rosé when this white wine was poured into a glass, the incredible nose was full of red fruits and licorice, an intense distillation as if a gallon had been boiled down to a couple ounces, echoing on the palate where every taste bud was coaxed and recruited to sing in perfect harmony as the crackling acids vibrated through the wine with enough electricity to power a small city.

Writing this the next morning I can still taste the cherry, raspberry, peach, apricot fruit salad of this perfect wine. — 9 years ago

It's simply Cabernet gold. You'll be hard pressed to find a Napa Cabernet better than this one...bar none! Including cult cab's! Look up mouth harmony in the dictionary, you'll see a picture of this bottle. Chuck is so selective in his fruit for his Cabernets, he's only made four times in fifteen years. — 9 years ago

Really dark opaque purple, with dense color tone not eased up on the rim. The bubbles are purple too. It shows a bit brownish tone on the rim. Beautiful dense legs on the rim flowing slowing downward. Nose of ripe dark sweet fruit, wood fragrance like cedar, leather, herbs, jam, raisin, and a slight hint of spice. All the fragrance is saturate, but in harmony. Taste of bright acidity, dried apricot, peppery, black tea, zest, dark chocolate, medium tannins, oaky, and peaty. Aftertaste is long with dark chocolate and coffee-mocha note, and a bit tea flavor. Wow. I hope I have another bottle for aging. — 9 years ago
