The 2019 Robert Mondavi Winery Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley stands as a testament to the winery's dedication to excellence and its deep understanding of the region's terroir. Scoring 92 points from both Jeb Dunnuck and James Suckling, this wine delivers a captivating bouquet of dark currants, tobacco leaf, and earthy truffles, accented by spicy oak and a hint of cocoa. The medium to full-bodied palate is marked by ripe tannins, vibrant acidity, and a luxurious texture, presenting a well-balanced and lengthy finish.
Crafted from a meticulously selected blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, with the remainder composed of Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, and Malbec, this wine benefits from fruit sourced from renowned Napa Valley vineyards, including Oakville and Stags Leap. The result is a rich, expressive wine with layers of sweet black fruit, warm oak spice, and a lively freshness. Aging for 18 months in French oak barrels has refined its flavors, making it not only an impressive current release but also a promising candidate for extended cellaring. Whether enjoyed now or over the coming decade, this Cabernet Sauvignon offers a superb example of Napa Valley’s best.
