winemaker's notes:
Deep, dense and concentrated, the flavors echo intense aromas of blueberry, bramble and cassis intermingled with cocoa, cinnamon and sweet, toasty oak. Bold, yet supple on the palate, the dark, richly fruity flavors are balanced by a bright acidity and long finish.
Blend: 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 2% Syrah, 1% Petit Verdot, 1% Malbec
alcohol by volume:
14.5%
critical acclaim:
"Textbook Napa Cab. It's dry, smoothly tannic and subtle, with blackberry, cassis and dark chocolate flavors nicely intrigued with herbs, tobacco and cedar. Just delicious now and for the next few years.Editors' Choice "

This is a really nice wine, bold, intense, yet smooth and velvety. It certainly has a lot of depth.

Really enjoyed this! Smooth and tasty, great finish.
Excellent taste! Did pay $17.99 just a few months ago from wine.com. LC
Just what I expected, very smooth and full bodied.
I really like this cab. Good nose of blue fruit with a hint of leather. Taste of blueberry and chocolate with hints of pipe tobacco and toasty oak. Smooth and a bit dry. Good finish and a good deal. A lot of flavor.
The best cabernet sauvignon period
A little too oakey for my taste
Good, not great.
Earthy & Spicy
Nice nose, full bodied cabernet. Exactly what one should expect from Robert Mondavi.
We think this is a terrific value for the money. Excellent clean taste - needs decanting but after a short wait it's ready to drink and is excellent.
Smooth & Supple
Always enjoy this wine. Always get it if it goes on sale.

3.5 stars. Initially a little angular, but after a few hours decanting it really balanced out. Not mind blowing, but extremely drinkable.
The berry taste makes up a good medium-strong base it has definite hints of cocoa, the wine is fairly complex as it is fairly smooth but at the same time maintains a slight spiciness I think mostly from the aging process in oak cask.
Big & Bold
Again - a solid wine! Always a great value.
