Christie’s auction house published a story highlighting some of the most coveted wines from California that collectors seek out, leading with Chateau Montelena in the #1 spot. The piece accurately explains that “the estate that brought California to the forefront of the wine world is not surprisingly one of the most collectible from the region.” In terms of winemaking, “Montelena is one of the most European-style wines, crafted in the image of the great wines of Bordeaux. In great vintages, it is one for the long haul, but when the tannins do soften out and yield, the elegance and grace of Montelena sets it apart.” The featured wine is the 1993 Chateau Montelena Estate Cabernet Sauvignon.
