Sipping Fine Wine

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.

A 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.

Good appearance, pleasant nose, distinct strawberry fruitiness, low acid and hot alcoholic finish.

As a novice wine drinker, this is one of my favorites. Not terribly complex, simple fruity flavor...love it.

This is a great Cali Pinot. Earthy great red and black fruit and none of the overly extracted heavy cherry cola and sweetness that infects a lot of California Pinot.

Usually 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.
