  • 1996 Robert Mondavi Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve - USA, California, Napa Valley (10/6/2009)
    decanted 2 hours…light red with brown around the edges…great nose…tobacco, plum, some violets, perhaps some menthol and eucalyptus.
    silky mouth feel… with more tobacco and some currants…a smooth smooth finish…I think this wine is fully mature and has plateaued …there is still good fruit…
    but I don‘t know for how long…I plan to drink our remaining bottles over the next 3-4 years… iti s a delicious Cal Cab in its prime… 95 points
    (warning…I am biased…I LOVE the 90’s Mondavi CS Reserve) (95 pts.)

Nice. Very nice.

Sounds like a perfect candidate for my 1996 Cali Cab/Bordeaux dinner next month.
