Last night I had the 2007 Montoya cab. 2007 was a great year in Napa, and when I opened this bottle, I was immediately hit by the amazing nose. On the palate, there was some nice dark fruit, and the first few sips were delightlful.
But even with the great fruit, it lacked depth and complexity. After the first glass, it frankly got a little boring. At $15, it's at the lower end of the price range for Napa cabs, and certainly gives a hint of what Napa is about, but I think there are far better Napa wines that are still under $20, and wines from other areas that are at least as good without paying the Napa premium.
If you're at a party where the host is serving this, it's worth having a glass. But not worth buying a bottle.
Not recommended.
