Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve--Vintage 1996
Nappa Valley. Estate-bottled: Mondavi
Offered in its original cartons
Tasting Note: The colour is opaque purple, and the wine reveals more vanillin, a touch of mint, and plenty of black currant fruit in its moderately intense aromatics. Some of the vintage's dry tannin (from this year's stressed vineyard conditions) is present in the wine's finish. A more stylish, restrained, less exuberant example than the 1996 Oakville, it is an outstanding offering that should be consumed between 2002-2025. Robert Parker
