Montona 2001 Merlot (Napa Valley)

Price $40

Like Montona’s 2000 Cab, this wine also has been re-released since its debut in 2003, and it, too, has gone downhill. The wine is losing fruit and picking up harsh acidity, although it’s still drinkable. — S.H. (12/1/2005)

Montona 2000 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

Price $50

Re-released after an additional two years in bottle, this wine, which was very good in 2003, is on a downhill slide. It’s losing fruit, cracking up as the Brits say. From Andretti. — S.H. (12/1/2005)

points

Montona 2002 Chardonnay (Napa Valley)

Price $30

Winemaker bells and whistles, such as smoky oak and creamy lees, star in this earthy wine, which has been re-released after two years. It doesn’t seem at all old. There’s enough peach and apple flavor to make it balanced. — S.H. (12/1/2005)
