High Density Oakville

2009 Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon

The Robert Mondavi Winery High Density Oakville 2009 is a remarkable expression of Cabernet Sauvignon hailing from the prestigious Oakville region in Napa Valley. This full-bodied red wine boasts a rich, deep ruby color that entices the eye. On the nose, it exhibits enticing aromas of dark fruit, such as blackberry and plum, intertwined with notes of cedar, spice, and a hint of vanilla derived from oak aging. The palate is vibrant, showcasing a perfect balance of fruit intensity and bright acidity, providing a lively mouthfeel that invigorates the senses. The tannins are firm yet gracefully integrated, contributing to the wine's overall structure and aging potential. This wine finishes elegantly, leaving a lasting impression with its powerful fruit and harmonious oak nuances. A true testament to the quality and craftsmanship of Robert Mondavi Winery, this Cabernet Sauvignon is both approachable now and poised for further development in the cellar.

Oakville

One of the most highly esteemed wine districts in the United States, Oakville is at the heart of the Napa Valley and is renowned for its red dirt and near-perfect climate. Warmer than Yountville and Stag's Leap but cooler than Rutherford, producers in Oakville can craft deeply flavored wines full of nuance. Merlot and Zinfandel thrive here, but the standout grape is, of course, Cabernet Sauvignon. Oakville has a surprisingly large concentration of producers making "cult status" Cab Sauv with loyal followers. The AVA's zingy, tropical-tasting Chardonnay and zesty Sauvignon Blanc are also highlights.
