MESSAGE FROM THE CEO, FONDA HOPKINS
Your palate is the only one that matters to us and we work hard to make it happy!
When I started in the wine business in 1985, I was shocked by the difficulty wine lovers have navigating the world of fine wines. I founded Montesquieu in 1991 with the clear vision of sourcing, producing, and sharing the best of the best with fellow wine lovers who like me, truly care about what is inside the bottle and how it came to be.
2016
Napa, California
Montesquieu Success Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
This is the grand finale of our 2016 Napa Cabs and we went all out. A massive 100% Cab from a cool, totally organic Calistoga vineyard nestled at the bottom of the hills. Each grape was cherry picked by our winemaker and her team, and this wine brings the thunder with big bold luscious fruit and complexity for seems to never end.
The Success has the deepest dark crimson color and it’s love at first sip. Prepare to be swept away by aromas of black cherry skin dusted with hints of white pepper and fresh herbs. The palate takes you on a joyride with hulking flavors of blackberry and roasted plum all framed by a sweet velvety tannin and subtle hints of spice. Then the finish comes through with subtle hints of dark chocolate shavings, cherry jam, and a touch of spice, the perfect finish to a perfect expression of Napa Cab.

I was referred to Montesquieu by friends this past year. My wine advisor is fantastic and has yet to send me a wine that I didn’t love, and she is an absolute pleasure. Be careful, this place is dangerous!
