2007 Chateau Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon Estate
A little high brow for burgers on the grill, but what the heck, it's a holiday weekend. This is tighter than recent vintages were on release, with better acid structure and a stronger tannic presence. So it's not as immediately forward/enjoyable (though there is plenty of fruit), but it seems properly balanced for aging, where the 2004-2006 editions were much more approachable in their youth.
