2003 Beringer Montagia Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain 1.5L
For the 2000 Napa Valley Wine Auction, Beringer Winemaster Ed Sbragia and retired football quarterback Joe Montana collaborated to create a Cabernet Sauvignon blend from some of Beringer's Howell Mountain fruit from the stellar 1997 vintage. Called "Montagia," one case of 750ml bottles and one nine-liter bottle of wine, as well as some Montagia-logo sportswear and a dinner at Beringer’s historic Hudson House with Ed, Joe, and his wife, Jennifer, was auctioned and brought a whopping $210,000, to benefit Napa Valley health charities.
Joe and Ed had a lot of fun making that wine together, and when they saw that their collaboration could make such a positive impact, they decided to continue making Montagia and focus it predominantly toward charitable donations. So, since then, Joe and his wife Jennifer join Ed to create a blend made from Howell Mountain fruit each year.
