Robert Mondavi Winery
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Into the neck fill. Tawny and transparent in the glass. Looks younger than it is. Great nose. Notes of sweet blackberry, cedar box, fig, molasses, cranberry and currant. Very complex. In the mouth it’s still got a bunch of fruit with balanced acidity and structure. Lasting finish. At 40 years old this still seems youthful. Wow. Blew away our expectations.

Aug 18th, 2018Wow. It's been a while since I've had a wine that was so soft and together at the same time. Good acid, nice little anisette leathery redfruit thing going. Awesome from a 1.5L
