TASTING NOTES
In the realm of fine wines, the Robert Mondavi 2019 Napa Cabernet stands tall as a testament to craftsmanship and a true embodiment of Napa Valley's viticultural excellence. This distinguished Cabernet Sauvignon is a symphony of flavors, expertly orchestrated to deliver an unforgettable tasting experience.
At the forefront, the wine is framed by a lovely interplay of bright acidity and fine tannins, creating a harmonious structure that captivates the palate from the first sip to the last. The vibrancy of the fruit notes is a revelation, a sweet black fruit medley that dances on the taste buds with a warmth imparted by carefully integrated oak spice, creating a lusciously chocolatey texture that defines indulgence.
The aromatic profile is a tapestry of scents, each note telling a story of the terroir from which it originates. Cherries, purple plums, and the subtle hint of sage intertwine with the fragrances of sandalwood, mint, and vanilla bean. It's a sensory journey through the essence of Napa Valley, encapsulating the diversity and richness of its soil and climate.
When it comes to food pairings, the Robert Mondavi 2019 Napa Cabernet is a versatile companion, elevating the dining experience. Whether indulging in a juicy cheeseburger or savoring the robust flavors of grilled lamb, this wine enhances the culinary voyage, bringing out the best in both the dish and the glass.
Behind this exceptional vintage lies a carefully curated selection of grapes from Napa Valley's most esteemed sub-appellations. Oakville, with its deep, well-drained soils, contributes nearly half of the blend, imparting a dark, supple character framed by fine tannins. Additional nuances are derived from Stags Leap District, Oak Knoll, Yountville, and Rutherford, each parcel adding its unique imprint to the final composition.
In terms of wine facts, the 2019 Napa Cabernet boasts an impressive 15% alcohol by volume (ABV). The vintage, characterized by ideal growing conditions, has resulted in a blend comprised of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Malbec. This meticulous blend showcases the artistry and commitment to quality that define the legacy of Robert Mondavi wines. Indulge in the 2019 Napa Cabernet, and let each sip transport you to the heart of Napa Valley's vinicultural masterpiece.

93 POINTS - "Dominated by 80% Cabernet Sauvignon with smaller percentages of the other Bordeaux red grapes, this wine speaks of heritage and prestige. Broad, silky, and powerful, the graceful liquid is enhanced by dark chocolate, white pepper, black plum, vio lets, and sweet earth.." - Tasting Panel
92 POINTS - "The base 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is certainly impressive, and since there are roughly 90,000 cases, it’s an incredible achievement. Classic darker currants, tobacco leaf, truffly earth, and spicy oak all define the bouquet, and it’s medium to full-bodied, with ripe tannins, terrific balance, and outstanding length. Based off 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, and Malbec, buy a case and enjoy bottles over the coming 10-15 years. Best after 2022." - Jeb Dunnuck
92 POINTS - "Lovely cabernet notes of bell pepper, blackcurrants, blackberry leaves and cassis, together with some cocoa powder. I like the freshness. Medium body and creamy, powdery tannins. Juicy and extremely drinkable. 80% cabernet sauvignon, the rest merlot, cabernet franc, petit verdot and some malbec. Drink from 2023." - James Suckling
91 POINTS - "A solid, forthright Cabernet, with cedar and warm stone notes framing the core of gently steeped black currant and blackberry fruit. Savory and loam accents flash through the finish." - Wine Spectator
