✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Robert Mondavi's flagship Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon stands as a monumental pillar of Napa Valley's winemaking revolution. Established in 1966 with the singular vision of producing California wines that could rival the finest European estates, Mondavi anchored his signature red in the legendary To Kalon Vineyard in Oakville. First planted in 1868 by pioneer H.W. Crabb, To Kalon—meaning 'the highest beauty' in Greek—features deep, well-drained gravelly soils that force the vines to struggle, resulting in remarkably concentrated fruit. This classic blend is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, often accented with Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, and is aged for nearly two years in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is celebrated for its opulent dark fruit, structured tannins, and signature notes of sweet oak spice, mint, and mineral complexity, embodying the rich history and pioneering spirit of Napa Valley.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Den visionære vinmager Robert Mondavi grundlagde Robert Mondavi Winery i Oakville i 1966 med en klar ambition: at skabe vine i Napa Valley, som kunne måle sig med verdens ypperste vinhuse. Med base i det ikoniske vineri opført i californisk missionsstil, tegnet af arkitekten Cliff May, kom huset til at spille en afgørende rolle i udviklingen af den moderne amerikanske vinindustri – ikke mindst i kraft af arbejdet med den historiske mark To Kalon Vineyard. Mondavi gik forrest i udbredelsen af nyskabende dyrkningsmetoder, temperaturstyret gæring på rustfri ståltanke og modning på franske egetræsfade, ligesom han gjorde tørgæret Sauvignon Blanc berømt under navnet Fumé Blanc. I dag er vinhuset verdenskendt for sine skelsættende Cabernet Sauvignon-vine fra Oakville og Reserve-serien samt for sine strukturerede, elegante Chardonnay-vine og udtryksfulde blends i klassisk Bordeaux-stil.
