2008 Robert Mondavi Oakville District Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml

Quick Overview

Wine Spectator Top 100: 2011 #20! Intense, sophisticated, powerful and persistent, the Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon opens with smooth yet brawny tannins and broadens into big, bold flavors. Effusive aromas of black fruits, blackberry, black plum and black cherry are underlain with a subtle scent of sun-warmed thyme and the fresh, earthy scent of wet gravel. The wine’s rich dark-fruit flavors are complemented by a hint of mocha and coffee imparted by oak aging. An effusive, confident wine whose muscular tannins showcase the power that distinguishes Cabernet Sauvignon coming from the famed Oakville appellation and To Kalon Vineyard in the heart of Napa Valley.

WINE SPECTATOR RATING: 94

WINE SPECTATOR REVIEW: A supple, graceful, yet potent and engaging young Cabernet, the proverbial iron fist in a velvet glove. Shows intense, minty bay leaf and dried currant and berry flavors that unfold gracefully, picking up a nice minerally edge as well as tannins that are firm yet graceful and refined. Drink now through 2020.

JAMES SUCKLING RATING: 92

JAMES SUCKLING REVIEW: This is very well done with aromas of berries, fresh mint and licorice. Full body with a spicy palate as well as plenty of fruit and bright acidity. A balanced and well-integrated wine. This can age. Give it a year or two to come together more.
