Robert Mondavi Winery
Carneros Pinot Noir
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.

A good wine nonetheless.

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

Mar 4th, 2015Ruby 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.

Dec 3rd, 2014A 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!
