Robert Mondavi Winery
Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon
Oakville, Napa Valley, California, USA
Was able to get my hands on another ‘10, deep Ruby inky with black fruit aromas, oak and spice notes. A blend of 88% Cab Sauv, 7% Cab Franc, 4% Merlot & 1% Malbec, aged in French oak for about 24 months. On the palate flavors of ripe blackberry & blueberry flavors with sweet spice, notes of tobacco. Good balance and acidity, had fully developed tannins. This full-bodied wine had a medium+ finish, smooth, ending with leathery stewed fruit character, nice but no more Wow! Drink up, still enjoyable!

Oct 30th, 2020My last 2010 bottle, dark inky purple, with blue and black fruit aromas. A blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 4% Merlot & 1% Malbec, aged in French oak for almost 2 years. The palate shows complex blackberry & blueberry flavors with sweet spice, not jammy, but little tired now. Well balanced with good acidity and fully developed tannins. This full-bodied wine finishes with a smooth ending. Great but lost its zing! Drink up!

Soft flat tannins. Light. Well balanced with neat and smooth finish. Slightly sweet mild blackberries and oak.

Excellent wine. Probably one of the better cabs we've had recently. Very mellow but bold at the same time with good flavor.
