2021 Robert Mondavi Winery Pinot Noir Private Selection

California more

5/7/2024 - SH Wu wrote: 81 points

This has the idea of a cherry cola california pinot profile, but you can definitely tell the fruit is green and the cooperage cheap.

That being said, there is enough acidity to make this not a simply a cloying pinot. I respect Mondavi for trying to improve their base products over the last 5 years. Unlike the Mondavi Pinot I drank ~5 years ago, this is actually drinkable.

On one hand, many previous vintages left me thinking this offering is often artificial and manipulated barely deserving a decent score. On the other hand it does seem to get just a little better every year. This one may be the best ever. First off, there seems to be an unwanted and unwelcome bit of residual sugar. Beyond that, we have pure fresh cherry and raspberry fruit any Pinot would be proud to display. Maybe a bit too much toasty oak. The color is more like Merlot than Pinot. Nice viscosity. Very nice moderate, enhancing tannins. Not just upfront fruit, some continuing though not overwhelming character. A bit of cocoa powder with the cherry on the finish.

VancouverMatt’s tasting note from January is about spot on so I have not much to add other than it does benefit from a 1-2 hour decant.

1974 Robert Mondavi Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve

23x California 1974: Do the legendary 1974s still hold up? The answer is a resounding YES, and not just for one or two top wines, but across the board. These best wines showed incredible complexity, with still vibrant fruit cores perfectly complemented by layers upon layers of tertiary aromas, a fully intact structural frame, stature, poise, and freshness. While many of these wines should continue to age well, I don't expect them to get any better than they are now. The top wines in the tasting were the Mondavi Cabernet and the Phelps Insignia (both 97pts), the Mondavi Reserve and the Mount Eden (both 96pts), and the Ridge Monte Bello (95pts). Many more wines scored in the 90-94 point range. I'm convinced that many wines would have scored even higher in a different tasting setting, where you can follow the wine over the course of an evening. Only 5 of the 24 bottles showed signs of weakness, with 1 of those already oxidized, but given the substance that could be tasted underneath, this is more likely due to weak corks or poor storage than anything nature delivered this year. All the wines had very good fill levels and had been quickly double decanted before tasting to remove the sediment.

TN: This wine captivates with a vibrant nose of graphite, blue and dark red fruits, initially hinting at TCA which quickly dissipates. On the palate, it's powerful yet supremely elegant, seamlessly integrating layers of blue and dark red fruits with graphite and subtle herbal touches. Early signs of leather and tobacco lurk in the background, promising future complexity. With time in the glass, it unfurls, becoming increasingly open and complex. A tight contest with the regular Mondavi Cabernet (rated 97pts), which appears more developed, hence more complex, and to me slightly superior, though others favor this Reserve for its impressive structure and future potential.

TN: The wine starts with a compelling bouquet of mint, old leather, and dark berries that still bursts with freshness. The palate is a tapestry of malty nuances interwoven with classic notes of dark berries, leather, and tobacco. This vintage is gracefully entering its final stages without any signs of decline, continuously unfolding in complexity, drawing out more mint, which adds to the freshness, and malt with time. A superb wine from and A to Z and a testament to that great vintage and this winery.

This big boy was still youthful. Decanted multiple times from 1-3 hours. It served a wedding party with plenty of strong red dark fruit, a touch of cassis and game and a silky finish. So glad to have this for my youngest daughter's wedding.

Popped and poured. A bit flat coming off the Montelena, but a decent weeknight cab nonetheless. Notes of plum and leather. Medium-bodied and integrated, with dark fruit and plum flavors.

Raspberry and red cherry on the nose.
Medium acidity and body.
Notes of cherry, currant, and clove.
Potential for some good tertiary flavors as it matures.
I'd give it a few more years.
Too young and too fruity for now.
Could pair well with charcuterie and aged cheese. Needs high salt/fat to balance the intense fruit.

Lovely cabernet notes of bell pepper, blackcurrants, blackberry leaves and cassis, together with some cocoa powder. I like the freshness. Medium body and creamy, powdery tannins. Juicy and extremely drinkable. 80% cabernet sauvignon, the rest merlot, cabernet franc, petit verdot and some malbec. Drink from 2023.

COMMENTARY: The 2019 Robert Mondavi Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is generous and stylish with a pleasing finish on the palate. TASTING NOTES: This wine exhibits aromas and flavors of ripe berries and an accent of oak. Enjoy it with grilled lamb chops. (Tasted: December 9, 2021, San Francisco, CA)

Wine Spectator
A solid, forthright Cabernet, with cedar and warm stone notes framing the core of gently steeped black currant and blackberry fruit. Savory and loam accents flash through the finish.

Pop and pour from a 375ml, I should have decanted. The oak is quite evident and the fruit is bold. Despite that, this is clearly a quality wine and a decent Napa cab that will obviously show better in a few years time.

This is Cab at its best. Californian power with bordelais elegance. Dominant Cassis nose with fragrance tones. Sandalwood. A bit mocha. Palate straight into a massive body with constant changing impressions. Spices, fruit, minerals and again fragrance. Cassis all over anyway. Very long finish.

Still drinking pretty well at the moment. Not sure it will benefit from further aging so drink up as the tertiary flavors of raisin / dried plums / earth are starting to take over.
