Rated 97+
Another wine that shows the quality of the vintage to a T is the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve. It has undeniable class and finesse as well as medium to full body, a perfumed, complex array of cassis and dark fruits, tobacco, and violets, silky tannins, no hard edges, and a great finish. This isn't a blockbuster but a wine that builds beautifully with time in the glass and will reward 4-5 years of bottle age and have 20-30 years of overall longevity. The blend of the 2018 is 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot, all aged 20 months in new French oak, but it seems to have absorbed every ounce, as it's undetectable. It's a brilliant, quintessential Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink 2025-2056.
Wine Tasting Notes
Robert Mondavi The Reserve To Kalon Vineyard Napa Cabernet reveals flavors of rich black berries and black plum, dried herb complexity, sweet oak spices, vanilla bean, and toasted almonds unfold in mesmerizing layers, sending a wave of deliciously intense complexity across the palate in a tasty expression of power and elegance.
93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot
Alcohol 14.5%
