Robert Mondavi Winery, Reserve, Cabernet Sauvignon--Vintage 1986
Napa Valley
Both in original wooden cases
Parcel: lots 349-350
"A strong showing for this offering from Mondavi, 1986 was a transitional year for the Mondavi philosophy of Cabernet Sauvignon winemaking. The unfiltered school of winemaking, which ended in 1974, resumed in 1987, yet had not taken full hold in 1986. Nevertheless, Mondavi had already moved away from the excessive manipulation and acidification practiced during the 1975-1985 era. The 1986 reveals a deep, ruby/garnet color with an opaque middle and vauge lightening at the edge. The expressive bouquet offers up scents of jammy, cassis, tobacco, and damp earth. Sweet and ripe, this full-bodied, soft, seamless, velvety-textured wine was tasting exceptionally wine. Although fully mature, it is capable of lasting another 7-10 years. A very delicious, complex, elegant Cabernet." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #106 (Aug 1996)
