✨ wine.spec_sheet
Robert Mondavi established his namesake winery in 1966 with a bold vision to create Napa Valley wines that could stand among the world's finest. Located in the heart of Oakville, the winery became a pioneer of modern California winemaking, largely defined by its signature Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine is typically crafted as a classic Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blend, often complemented by Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. Much of the fruit historically sources from the legendary To Kalon Vineyard, famous for its gravelly, well-drained soils that yield intense, structured berries. Aged in French oak barrels, the wine beautifully balances rich dark fruit flavors of blackberry and cassis with refined tannins, subtle oak spice, and a sense of place that helped put American wine on the global map.
