Chateau Montelena - Zinfandel Napa Valley The Montelena Estate 2001 (750ml) Pouilly-Fume and is dense and full-bodiedCritical Acclaim 90 points Robert Parker The 2001 Zinfandel, which includes a bit of Petite Sirah in the blend, possesses a plum ruby color, medium to full body, and sweet aromas of peppery black cherry fruit, kirsch liqueur, and notions of old oak as well as incense. (RP) Wine Spectator Cedary, with very good intensity to raspberry, currant and plum flavors, framed by tart structure, toasty oak and earthiness.
