Chateau Montelena, a Napa Valley winery, has just released their 2002 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine is the 25th bottling of Chateau Montelena's Estate Cabernet, making it one of the oldest Cabernet Sauvignons in the region. The 2002 growing season produced a crop of small, highly concentrated berries resulting in a richly-flavored wine. Wine god Robert M. Parker Jr. awarded the 2002 Montelena Estate Cabernet Sauvignon a score of 95 points and the winery is featured in Parker's latest book "The World's Greatest Wine Estates." The wine sells for $95 per bottle.
