Mondavi selected the majority of the grapes from the center of Napa Valley, a region well known for producing intensely flavoured Cabernet family grape varieties. The balance of sunny days and cool, foggy nights in Napa Valley is perfect for developing complex, ripe flavours and supple tannins in Cabernet Sauvignon. A range of soils-from alluvial to lean volcanic-contributes to the diverse flavours in this wine. Mondavi chose 35% of the grapes from the Oakville AVA, including 33% from Robert Mondavi To Kalon Vineyard, and 22% from the Stags Leap District AVA, including 7% from Robert Mondavi Wappo Hill Vineyard. The balance of the grapes came from the Rutherford AVA and other Napa Valley vineyards. Ripe dark berry, spice, violet and chocolate weave through the aromas and smooth, velvety flavours of this Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. These rich, expressive flavours come from the soils and climates of vineyards located primarily in the geographic center of Napa Valley. Firm tannins support the abundant fruit character and give the wine excellent length on the palate. Fermentation with both cultured and native yeast strains gives layers of nuance to the wine, and extended skin contact intensifies varietal complexity and softens tannins. Finally, Mondavi aged the wine in French oak chateau barrels for over 18 months to enhance the lush texture and add spicy oak accents to this wine. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £252.46

Robert Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville California Description: At 90 years of age, Robert Mondavi remains the global emissary for these wine. His vision was to create wines in California that belong in the company of the great wines of the world. Robert Mondavi is known for producing hand-crafted wines of distinct style. Representing the best of Californiawine growing regions, including the legendary Napa Valley, each of the wines offers unique qualities and characteristics. Robert Mondavi Winery is located in the heart of Napa Valley, California. The first major winery built in Napa Valley in the post-Prohibition era, Robert Mondavi Winery helped establish the foundation for the modern-day Californiawine business. Its mission-style architecture, with the expansive archway and bell tower designed by Cliff May, has become an enduring landmark that evokes California's winemaking history. All of the grapes for this wine were grown in the world-renowned Oakville region surrounding our winery. Designated an American Viticultural Area in 1993, Oakville is distinguished by an alluvial fan extending from the base of the Mayacamas Mountains that form the valley's western border. The Oakville bench, which lies against the hills, has well-drained soils that allow deep rooting and the development of complex flavours in the grapes. Mondavi selected all Oakville bench vineyards for this wine, including 82% from Robert Mondavi's historic To Kalon Vineyard. Mondavihand-harvested the grapes into 40-lb. boxes during the cool morning hours. The clusters were then hand-sorted on tables in the To Kalon fermentation cellar for optimum quality. The grapes were destemmed and lightly crushed directly into a new 17-ton oak fermentation tank. The must was fermented with a combination of native and cultured yeast for layers of complexity, and follwed this with 24.5 days of skin contact to soften tannins. After the free-run wine was drained off the pomace, the drop-gate was opened to gravity-convey the pomace to a gentle basket press. The wine was then gravity-fed to barrels to undergo malolactic fermentation and ageing. To achieve natural clarity, the wine was racked three times during 16 months of ageing in traditional French oak chateau barrels . The wine was then bottled without fining or filtration. The ripe, sweet fruit character of the Cabernet Sauvignon exudes creme de cassis and juicy blackberry character. Complex nuances of spices, vanilla, minerals and cedar weave through the lush fruit flavours culminating in a long finish. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £143.29
