Third tasting with consistent notes. Nice aromatic balance with soft fruit flavors and tannins, but no depth or intensity. Really, a disappointing outing for an SLD wine at this price point.

Second tasting with consistent notes. Tasted over a 36 hour period. Initial taste was hard, but this wine opened up and drank very nicely after a 24 hour decant. Soft fruits and relaxed tannins. Not a a lot of depth, but quite enjoyable.

Better than I expected. Nice amount of age. Classic Mondavi taste of that era. No sign of burn out.

Not a whole lot to like about it today, but not sure it gets any better either.

California Cabernet Tasting for Leigh's Birthday: Seems a little bit overpriced...

Great aroma of flowers, violets? Good initial mouth feel, but then just disappeared. No depth. Soft tannins.

Tasting at Robert Mondavi (Spotlight Room): Well-made cabernet blend but mostly cabernet, plenty of tannin and fruit extraction, black cherry, boysenberry, long finish
