Robert Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville District 1998

Oakville, Napa Valley, California, United StatesLeafy cassis green olive notes mix with sweaty saddle spice and pepper. Extremely soft on entry with round earthy tobacco prune flavours and then long and warm. The alcohol reads 14.5 but it could be higher. The round structure and balanced palate enhances the appeal. Perhaps not typical for Mondavi but certainly correct for the vintage.Tasted: 01 May 2001Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
