Robert Mondavi Winery
BDX Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon Blend
Oakville, Napa Valley, California, USA
Had this a year ago & set down another bottle. A special wine not produced every vintage, BDX presents a different expression of Oakville in a Bordeaux blend of Cab Sauv and small bit of Cab Franc. The wine sat on French oak (32% new) for 29 months. Aromas of rich ripe berry fruit, sweet oak spice & cedar notes. On the palate blackberry & sweet cherry flavor with cacao & cedar spice, great balance & structure. Soft tannins, balanced acidity on a lingering finish ending with a slight earthy character. Nice!

Nov 6th, 2018Dark red and blue fruits with a slight hint of earth and forest floor on the finish, this is a complex wine that shows the diversity of Oakville and that some serious wines are still being made at Mondavi.

Cab Sav & Cab Franc. Powerful and rich. Dark fruit and Forrest floor. Great expression of Oakville terroir.
