A selection of fruit from perhaps the most famous vineyard in California, and a reserve wine in the true sense of the word. The winery has only designated this single vineyard reserve five times, and when they do the fruit is meticulously selected down to the single berry at the sorting table. The care shows in the glass, with intense fruit character that is classic Napa Valley. Great structure, carefully selected wood and not a trace of overripe character make for a wine worthy of any trophy cellar. And, at almost eight thousand cases produced, you should be able to procure a stash without too much trouble. Contains 7% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot.
Robert Mondavi Winery, Oakville, Napa Valley (California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
