Robert Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville District 1997
Oakville, Napa Valley, California, United StatesDarker than the Stags Leap District cab. Big spicy, dill, minty nose with vanilla, tobacco cassis and blackberry aromas. Again ripe and rich and full of concentration. Pepper, mint and blackberry jam flavours preview a big oaky, spicy finish with plenty of ripe tannins. Typical Mondavi balance and elegance but with power. This wine has a bright future. Hold minimum five years.Tasted: 01 May 2000Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $60.85 | 750ml | Specialty |
