Chateau Montelena - The Montelena Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2002 (750ml) White Rhone Blend The Volte-Face wines are producedRight now this wine is strutting its stuff, showing dense, fudge like scents of tobacco, cassis and whiffs of vanilla and coconut and flavors of blackberry with lashings of vanilla and cocoa. But like many vintages of Montelena, expect this one to shut down in another year only to reemerge as a beauty around age 10 or 12. Another classic. Joe Czerwinski
