Reserve

2009 Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon

The Robert Mondavi Winery Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon from the esteemed Oakville region showcases a deep, rich red color that is both inviting and elegant. This vintage is characterized by a full-bodied structure, with a roundness that envelops the palate, offering a sumptuous mouthfeel. The acidity is beautifully balanced, lending liveliness to the wine while enhancing its depth. Prominent fruit intensity is evident, with luscious dark fruit flavors—think blackcurrant and blackberry—taking center stage, complemented by subtle undertones of spice and cedar that add complexity. The tannins are well-integrated and offer a firm backbone, providing a sophisticated quality without overpowering the fruit. As a dry wine, it concludes with a pleasing finish that invites another sip, making it a delightful choice for both special gatherings and quiet evenings.

It may be small, but when it comes to American wine regions, they do not come much bigger than Napa County. Home to the famous Napa Valley, which comprises most of its area, the Napa name has gained global recognition for its exceptional wines—especially its Bordeaux varieties. Most Napa County wineries choose to be more location-specific when labeling their wine, listing the name of sub-regions like Yountville, Los Carneros or Rutherford to capitalize on the name recognition. However, with such an abundance of high-quality grapes grown across the region, plenty of négociant winemakers blend fruit from different sub-regions. This gives Napa County wines excellent regional balance, taking advantage of different terroirs and mesoclimates.
