Robert Mondavi Winery
Carneros Pinot Noir
For over 40 years, Robert Mondavi Winery has been the star of Napa Valley. Founded in 1966, it was the first major winery built in Napa Valley in the 3 decades following the repeal of Prohibition, and went on to establish the foundation for modern California winemaking. Dark Ruby with aromas of red/black fruits and earthy spice. On the palate cherry and raspberry flavors with herb spice. Soft tannins on a savory frame carry the wine to a lingering finish. Consistent quality Y/O/Y.

Dec 9th, 2017A lushes release of powerful brightly salted berries on the nose and a intense flavor roll smoothly over the pallet followed by a tangy indulgence and a calm crisp finish. Effortless freedom in each glass; flavor saluted!

Smooth and easy drinking. Agree with other comments - cherry flavor and hints of strawberry in the finish.

Dec 8th, 2017Usually not a huge fan of Cali Pinot but really enjoyed this. Light fruit notes that linger without getting overly extracted as many Cali Pinots can. Have a few more bottles and looking forward to the next one.
