1979 Robert Mondavi Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 90 Points
USA, California, Napa Valley
Charming earthy aromas with modest remaining fruit with some good cedar in background. Smoky red fruit on palate with good earthy flavors, modest dried herbs in background. Slightly short finish.

Thinner fruit than typical on nose. Moderate black cherry flavors behind still fairly assertive acidity and moderate tannins. Better on finish than in middle.

Black currant and plum balanced nicely with emerging mushroom character with hints of cedar. Good flavors but modest density or length. Probably entering its peak drinking window now.

USA, California, Napa Valley
Lots of ripe fruit aromas with rich dark fruit character, lots of meaty spice. Elegant flavors, also showcase the fruit, modest structure, modest length. I also think this will be at its best as a young drinking wine, probably over the next 5 years.

Lots of ripe plum and black currant aromas with some cassis. Similar fruit profile on palate wth slightly coarse tannins. Needs time in the cellar, and hopefully this will achieve greater balance.

Very positively surprised by how well this showed. Rick black fruit aromas and flavors. Modest acidity and tannins strike the right fruit/structure balance. Close to its peak today, best 2007-2014.

2001 Robert Mondavi Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 93 Points
USA, California, Napa Valley
Dense, dark fruit aromas. Excellent concentration with lots of power start-to-finish. Brawny and tannic for now, but lots of interesting potential for 2010 and later.

2002 Robert Mondavi Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 91 Points

Intense and ripe fruit, very bright today. Hints of espresso and chocolate. Lush fruit on palate with modest spice, firmly structured finish for now. Probably best after 2010.
