Montagia Cabernet Sauvignon represents a celebrated partnership between Beringer Vineyards and legendary Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Montana. Crafted in collaboration with Beringer's winemaking team, this premium bottling is a tribute to Napa Valley's premier terroir. Sourced from select high-elevation and valley floor vineyards, the wine is predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, aged in French oak barrels to develop its signature complexity. It weaves together the rich history of Beringer—one of Napa's oldest continuously operating wineries—with Montana's passion for world-class wine, resulting in a bold, structured red characterized by dark fruit, refined tannins, and subtle spice.
