To Kalon

2006 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

The Robert Mondavi Winery To Kalon Cabernet Sauvignon from the esteemed 2006 vintage embodies the richness and sophistication that Napa Valley is renowned for. This red wine delights the palate with its full-bodied character, offering a generous mouthfeel that envelops the senses. The acidity is bright and lively, providing a refreshing contrast to the wine's prominent fruit intensity, which showcases luscious dark fruits such as blackberry and blackcurrant. Delightfully balanced, the wine features notable tannins that contribute to its structure and aging potential, ensuring a robust yet refined experience. As a dry wine, it is also impressively complex, making it a perfect companion for hearty dishes or a memorable experience on its own.

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.
