Robert Mondavi Fumé Blanc 2017
Napa Valley, California, United StatesThe Mondavis knew the style of its sauvignon blanc would be richer given the soil and the heat, but the goal was always to make sure it had the brightness of the Loire. The Fume Blanc is a mix of Wappo Hill Vineyard (Stag’s Leap District) fruit for brightness, herbal notes and lift and To Kalon Vineyard (Oakville) that brings a richness, weight, complexity to the wine. On the palate it is all you want from floral and mineral to tropical and zesty with peachy, citrus, juiciness that make it very food friendly. Ninety percent of the juice was barrel fermented, and the rest saw stainless steel before it was all aged six months on lees in 60-gallon French oak barrels, stirred twice a month to build up creamy textures. The addition of 15 percent semillon to broaden the mouthfeel.Tasted: 19 December 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $23.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
