Robert Mondavi – HWC 2012 – Oakville, Napa Valley

The nose is elegant and offers a small power, a beautiful finesse, intensity as well as a small deepness. It reveals notes of fleshy cassis, fleshy strawberry and small notes of small blue fruits associated with fine touches of tobacco, vanilla and discreet hints of caramelization (in the background). The mouth is fruity, well-balanced and offers a good definition, juiciness, precision as well as gourmandize. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of juicy/ripe cassis, juicy/ripe Boysen berry and small notes of strawberry associated with touches of plum as well as fine hints of cornflower and fine hints of tonka bean. Good length.
