When you have a wine being made by the hive collective of the likes of Rob Mondavi Jr, grandson of Robert Mondavi, Tony Coltrin another Mondavi alum, maker of the first vintage of Fumé Blanc in 1968 and the first vintage of Opus One, along with Mari Wells Coyle with over 20 vintages under her belt and several 90+ point wines, you know you are in for a treat! Now put those skills in the heart of Napa and what comes next is bound to be special.
This Cabernet is focused on the broader palate that is subdued from overly tannic expressions found in the same region. The blending of this wine aging in both French and American Oak lends its fruiter side to be showcased with dark berries, violet, and plum coming forward finishing with slight hints of chocolate.
