Tasting notes
Montagna's 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate La Presa One South emerges from the glass with black cherries, licorice, tar and graphite. This is an especially muscular, driving Cabernet backed up by serious, imposing tannins. The 2009 will require a measure of patience for the richness of the fruit to fully emerge, but it is impressive today just the same. This is a fabulous showing.

Montagna’s 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate La Presa One South emerges from the glass with black cherries, licorice, tar and graphite. This is an especially muscular, driving Cabernet backed up by serious, imposing tannins. The 2009 will require a measure of patience for the richness of the fruit to fully emerge, but it is impressive today just the same. This is a fabulous showing. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2029. Montagna is Bob Long’s new project on Pritchard Hill, not far from David Arthur, which Bob founded with his brother David. Nile Zacherle, the winemaker at David Arthur, is also in charge at Montagna. These early releases suggest Montagna is another of the rising stars in Napa’s hottest neighborhood. Tel. (707) 963-5190
