Napa Valley
Chateau Montelena is a historic Napa Valley institution founded in 1882, housed in a stone chateau at the northern end of the valley. The winery gained worldwide recognition when its 1973 Chardonnay triumphed at the 1976 Judgment of Paris—a pivotal moment that helped spark the American wine revolution. Today, this mid-sized producer crafts Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Zinfandel, Sauvignon Blanc, and Riesling, earning consistent 90+ ratings from major critics and multiple Wine Spectator Top 100 placements.
