Description:
Robert Mondavi is known for producing hand-crafted wines of distinct style. Representing the best of California wine growing regions, including the legendary Napa Valley, each of the wines offers unique qualities and characteristics.
For over twenty-five years Mondavi's Woodbridge winery have been making fine wines in the Lodi region, one of California's oldest winemaking areas. It has grown in a quarter century, but still operates like a very small winery in many ways with gentle, hands-on techniques in the vineyards and winery that result in smooth, great tasting wines.
This wine is dominated by 93% Shiraz (Syrah) as well as a little 5% Petite Sirah, 1% Viognier and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon. After 13 months ageing this wine has an intense, ripe blackberry character, accented with violet and allspice. Seductive vanilla nuances, from barrel ageing, linger in the deep, velvety fruit flavours.
