Robert Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville District 1996
Oakville, Napa Valley, California, United StatesGreat color. Complex floral, cedar, peppery, ripe blackberry jam notes with tobacco and earth, very similar flavours. Very sophisticated and complex - it makes you want to nose your glass all night long. Wonderful intensity of flavours with lots of balanced, silky tannins. Long toasty, pepper, vanilla cassis fruit finish. Excellent wine but a huge jump in price over the 1995.Tasted: 01 May 1999Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $67.95 | 750ml |
