Winemaker Notes
Critical Acclaim
A complex nose of fresh berries, olives, herbs and spices. Balanced, velvety palate with nice harmony and elegant tannins. Long, savory finish. Delicious. Drink or hold.
This is an impressive red that over delivers on its price point, providing a graceful experience of powerful concentration. Black fruit, iron, crushed rock and cedar define its yin-yang of Old World sensibility with New World intensity. Editors’ Choice.
COMMENTARY: The 2017 Robert Mondavi Winery Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is nicely-built and fine drinking wine. TASTING NOTES: This wine brings plenty of ripe currants onto the palate. Pair it with roast chicken and a medley of garden salad greens. (Tasted: July 8, 2020, San Francisco, CA)
