Robert Mondavi – To Kalon Vineyard – Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2014 – Oakville – Napa Valley

(Barrel sample) The nose is aromatic, relatively powerful and offers finesse. It reveals notes of blackberry and cassis associated with fine touches of violet. The palate is fruity, harmonious, well-balanced, relatively gourmand and offers a good structure, a beautiful precision of the fruit, a mineral structure as well as a beautiful and silky matter. On the palate this wine expresses notes of blackberry and plum associated with fine touches of cassis, black cherries as well as a touch of raspberry, chocolate, minerality and a few discreet notes of toasted / caramelized oak. Tannins are young and fine. Good length ! Good potential !
