Description

Robert Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2021

92 pts – James Suckling

“Soft around the edges and firm in the middle, this red- and black-fruited wine has a creaminess on the palate, delivering a mix of red cherries, blackberries and blueberries wrapped in moderate tannins. Contains small amounts of petit verdot, cabernet franc, malbec and merlot. Drink or hold.”

91 pts – Wine Spectator

“A polished, fruit-driven style, but with nice focus, as singed alder and savory notes provide a gentle nudge along the edges of the plum and cassis core. Ends with a subtle loam echo on the finish. Drink now through 2032.”

Fresh and lively with a polished structure, our 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon has dark fruit and spice notes that carry through to the finish.

Vineyard Information

Fruit for our Napa Valley Cabernet comes from sub-appellations throughout the Valley, each of which have been specially chosen for their contributions to a combined blend that is a true reflection of place, a gorgeous expression of Napa Valley.  Nearly half of this year’s blend is sourced from the deep, well-drained soils of Oakville, which give us gorgeously dark, supple wines framed by fine tannin. Complementary portions of the blend come from Stags Leap District, Oak Knoll, Yountville and Rutherford.

80% Cabernet Sauvignon
11% Merlot
5% Petit Verdot
