The Estates

Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon

Robert Mondavi Winery The Estates Cabernet Sauvignon is a stunning representation of the Oakville region, showcasing the area's rich terroir. This red offers a full-bodied experience, with a luxurious texture that envelopes the palate. Its acidity is well-balanced, providing a refreshing lift that complements the wine's depth. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring lush notes of dark berries, blackcurrant, and a hint of ripe plum, which harmonize beautifully with subtle undertones of oak and spice. Tannins are firm yet approachable, adding structure and dimension without overpowering the fruit. With its dry character, this Cabernet Sauvignon is a wonderful choice for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own, capturing the essence of Oakville's winegrowing excellence.

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.
