Robert Mondavi founded his namesake winery in 1966 with a bold vision to create Napa Valley wines that could stand alongside the greatest estates of Europe. The BDX Red Blend is a direct tribute to this pioneering spirit and the classic blends of Bordeaux. Sourced primarily from the coveted, sun-drenched vineyards of Oakville, including the legendary To Kalon Vineyard, this wine is a masterclass in blending. It typically leads with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, supported by Merlot and Petit Verdot. The terroir features well-drained gravelly soils and a unique microclimate of warm days and cooling marine fog, yielding grapes with intense concentration and structured tannins. Aged extensively in French oak barrels, the BDX represents a harmonious marriage of Old World structure and New World fruit intensity, carrying forward Mondavi's legacy of elegance and innovation.
