In celebration of Robert Mondavi Winery's 60th anniversary and its grand reopening, their winemaking team has crafted a commemorative Cabernet Sauvignon both historic and forward-looking.
The wine brings together two distinct personalities of Cabernet Sauvignon, using the same clones from the two original Robert Mondavi estate vineyards: the iconic To Kalon Vineyard in Oakville and the vineyard on Wappo Hill, which Robert planted at his hilltop home in Stags Leap District. The result is a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon wine with classic structure and a modern brightness and mouthfeel.
The wine opens with aromas of ripe raspberry, blackberry, and blueberry, with hints of dried herb, graham cracker, and mineral popping against the fresh fruit notes. High-toned flavors of juicy red berry lead into cranberry with a line of bright acidity carrying straight through, complemented by sweet toast and a savory finish. The plush and elegant body still retains density, concentration, and structure. The tannins are pretty and polished, and the finish is very fresh and lengthy.
