Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve--Vintage 1994
Napa Valley. R. Mondavi
Tasting note: 1994 was unquestionably a great vintage for north Coast Cabernet Sauvignon. Remarkably, 1995 may turn out to be as profound as 1994, giving California its two greatest back-to-back vintages of Cabernet Sauvignon...Ever! The deep opaque purple color, and tightly wound nose and flavors still reveal enough profound aromas and flavors to mark this as one of Mondavi's most sensational efforts. The nose possesses a Margaux/Mouton-like cassis, lead pencil, floral aroma, backed up by copious quantities of black currant fruit. In the mouth, my notes said, 'Great stuff'. The wine is full-bodied, layered, multidimensional, and astonishingly well balanced, with an inner depth and core of exceptional richness and intensity. All of this has been accomplished without any notion of obtrusive weight, tannin, or alcohol. The finish lasts for 35+ seconds. It should be at its best between now-2025. Note 98.
