Our friend Kyle Olmon - author of the fabulously successful pop-up book Castle: Medieval Days and Knights - brought this over for Saturday night BBQ. For what it's worth, Montgomery Place is the new label developed by the old sommelier at Per Se.
The wine was dark and rich ... to be expected from a mid-level Napa blend ... but the strength here was in the subtlety of the fruit and the minerality on the finish. This was big, without being over-the-top; fleshy, but not overtly sweet.
My friends claim that bringing wine to our house is "like bringing coal to New Castle," and so they never try to impress, but this wine did.
