For over 40 years, Robert Mondavi Winery has been the star of Napa Valley. Founded in 1966, it was the first major winery built in Napa Valley in the 3 decades following the repeal of Prohibition, and went on to establish the foundation for modern California winemaking. Dark Ruby with aromas of red/black fruits and earthy spice. On the palate cherry and raspberry flavors with herb spice. Soft tannins on a savory frame carry the wine to a lingering finish. Consistent quality Y/O/Y.

My fellow companions thought it was classic but I had difficulties finding the Pinot characteristics in this.
A good wine nonetheless.

Decent pinot. I like it but I've forgotten about it already.

Spicy and beautiful color but needs to age (opened 3/15).

Ruby color with restrained raspberry, earth and a bit of spice aromas. On the palate it's medium-bodied showing a nice balance of fruit, acid and tannins with raspberry, strawberry, earth and pronounced spice flavors. Med finish. A relatively good value @$26.

A sublime Napa Pinot Noir: light and delicate, yet hearty on the middle of the tongue with a smooth red fruit forward finish that brings it all home. Perfect pair with a red meat meal or will do quite well solo with a light snack. Bravo!
