Ruby with ripe berry fruit aromas with pleasing tobacco and oak notes. On the palate cherry, strawberry, oak and tangy cola spice and tea grace the glass. Fine soft tannins, long finish on a complex ending. Nice! Cheers! Perfect now! Take it out of the Cellar! — a month ago

This was just beautiful and drinking in a perfect place. I have had other bottles that were gone, but this was singing. Acidity still on point, floral, lovely fruit. What a great aged white burgundy should be; textbook. Wish I had more than one bottle left. — 12 days ago

Label says 08, cork says 09. Probably and 09. Some roasted coffee notes. Not terribly elegant but still quite good. Drink — 9 days ago

My friend graciously shared his 1979 Robert Mondavi Winery ‘Reserve’ Cabernet Sauvignon(WWB, 92), a wine I had not visited since I was at the winery several years back. The nose is highly Bordelaise with layers of red currents and red bell pepper with shades of dusty terroir that all mingle in the glass. The wine still has a good degree of freshness and a core of dark fruits with red bell pepper, damp earth and sandalwood tones. This now forty one year old wine has aged very gracefully. While not in its prime, it will provide drinking enjoyment over the next five to ten years — yet another resounding success from this Oakville estate. Drink 2020-2025- 92 — 3 days ago

Royal St. Robert Cuvee named in honor of Dante and Carlo Mondavi's grandfather who taught them to be committed to excellence. Medium Ruby with aromas of fresh berry fruits, smoke and soft floral notes. On the palate flavors of strawberry and raspberry with smoky oak and herb floral notes. Fine tannins, long finish ending with earthy herb notes. Very nice! Has room to age. — 5 days ago

For me these 14s are drinking great now. A little earth and bramble but not overpowering. Nice. — 12 days ago

So clean. This reminds me of the French/Belgian Saisons that got me into this style. Very close to perfect. — a month ago

RSV has just under 200 acres of vineyards in 5 Carneros locations & a winery in the Stags Leap District. The wines are 100% organic. Ruby with wonderful berry, cherry & spice aromas that carries through to palate with strawberry & cherry and complex spice, a touch of oak and fine tannins. Lively acidity gives the wine good balance, carries through the finish with a creamy characteristic ending with notes of vanilla spice. Nice! — 17 days ago
