Such a bombastic wine. Velvety … opulent … and loaded with dark fruit and cassis. Built for 15-20 years. Would like a touch more acid.

This wine is all about subtlety and restraint. While 17 was a challenging vintage, there are no signs of that here. Pure mature black fruits on the nose and palate. Dense mouthfeel with viscosity and moderate sweetness. Tannins are integrated, while the acidity is relaxed. Drink this vintage now or over the next 3 years.

Paying homage to the king of Napa - Robert Mondavi. This reserve is the reference-point in Napa. A model of restraint. The Cubans just came along for the ride. Montecristo No2 (2005) Grand Reserve. Better ask somebody…

Wow. I’m not sure 9.5 is high enough. So balanced, reserved in fruit and structure and beautiful overall. My kinda Cali cab. Hides the 14.5% abv like a champ.

Deep red color, pepper, spicy, ash on smell. Long persistence, high acidity, oaky, meaty, much better to pair with something, a t-bone steak works perfect with it.

This blew my mind. And back in 01/02 you couldn’t sell a bottle of 98 to save your life!

To Kalon, baby! Elegant AF, finish is a bit short though. Still very beautiful and polished.

As elegant as it is rich. An exercise in restraint as compared to most premium Napa Cabernets from this vintage.
