This winehas proved to be one of Napa’s longest-lived reds, capable of cellaring manydecades. If its nose is characteristically reticent, that is to be expected,but the upfront appeal of the vintage shows in the vivid ripe cherry andboysenberry fruit aromas that are laced with vanilla, graphite and cedar.Expansive on the palate with energy and poise, showcasing red and black fruits,savoury herbs, brown spices, and a crushed stone salinity. Very fine, pixelatedtannins resolve in a long spicy finish that builds with notes of chocolate andcrushed flowers.

This winemarks a comeback for the venerable Robert Mondavi Winery, with its firstappearance in our Top 100 since 2011. Winemaker Nova Cadamatre helped overseesignificant replanting in the famed To Kalon vineyard during her tenure (sheleft the winery in 2021). As young vine parcels came into production, sheemployed a strict selection for the winery’s The Reserve, instead feeding thenew-parcel fruit into the middle-tier Oakville bottling (renamed The Estatesstarting with the 2018 vintage). Relying on organic farming practices, withnative yeast fermentations and no filtration at bottling, this is very much anew and promising Mondavi.

Aromas oflead pencil, redcurrant, gravel, blackberry and sage. Full-bodied with silkytannins. Lovely depth and complexity here, with a wash of black fruit.Powerful, without being overdone. Delicious.
【Wine Enthusiast 93 pts】
Witheverything from raspberries to blueberries to dark chocolate, this concentratedwine is delicious. Lots of fruit and a dash of oak spices are carried nicely bymoderate tannins and good acidity for a complete and balanced expression.

Intense blackberries and black cherries on the nose lead tovivid focused cherries, blueberries and minty, spicy accents on the palate.Firm in tannins and fresh with good acidity, this outstanding wine iswell-balanced. Enjoyable now but best from 2027.
【WineSpectator 93 pts】
An extroverted style, with a burst of mint and boysenberry notesleading off, followed by steeped plum and black currant preserve flavors.There's a nice graphite note running underneath the fruit before this ends witha licorice accent that rounds off the finish. Drink now through 2038.
