Oberon was founded by Michael Mondavi when he split with the Robert Mondavi franchise, and the winemaking is by old Napa hand, Tony Coltrin. Recently, the brand expanded by adding wines from Paso Robles. This Sauvignon has floral, buttery aromas, yet has crisp, green-fruit flavors and those of apple with a hint of almost honeyed vanilla in the finish. Very silky structure, remindful of a Left Bank Sauvignon.
