Robert Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

#6 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2022

Aromas of blackberry, cherry, toasted almond, bay leaf and mocha. Luscious ripe cherry and cassis, with savory notes of dried herbs and toast. Rich, weighty, and mouth-coating, with classic fine To Kalon tannins.

Blend: 49% Cabernet Franc, 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot

Throws off some pretty gorgeous aromas of violet, anise and sweet bay leaf, with a core of ripe, streamlined boysenberry and blackberry pâte de fruit flavors following closely. The finish has a racy graphite edge, while the fruit and aromas just spill through. Approachable now, too. Drink now through 2034.—94 Points Wine Spectator
