Robert Mondavi

6-- 1.5 Liter Robert Mondavi Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, 2000
Value: $1620

Awards:
Wine Advocate - August 2002
90-92 points

Robert Parker Review: "There are 18,000-20,000 cases of the 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, one of the finest efforts from this difficult vintage. The wine is a blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Merlot and Malbec. It exhibits a deep purple color as well as an elegant, sweet perfume of black currants intertwined with licorice, loamy soil, and hints of mints as well as new oak. It is ripe, long, and structured, with medium to full body, outstanding purity and concentration, and a persistent finish. This elegant Cabernet will be at its finest between 2006-2020."

3 Liter Cakebread Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, 1995
Value: $600

"We believe the '95 is a Cabernet of great balance of fruit, tannins, and acidity. If the aroma, hinting of cherry and red berries, is slightly more restrained than the 1994 vintage, the fruit characteristics of the wine gradually increase through a tasting, and the lingering, fruity finish is truly impressive." Enjoy exploring its complex flavors as it unfolds, revealing hints of plum, cedar, and chocolate. Collector's Item
