2008 Robert Mondavi Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville Napa Valley

Top 100 Wines of 2011, Highly Recommended* A supple, graceful, yet potent and engaging young Cabernet, the proverbial iron fist in a velvet glove. Shows intense, minty bay leaf and dried currant and berry flavors that unfold gracefully, picking up a nice minerally edge as well as tannins that are firm yet graceful and refined. Drink now through 2020. Review Date: July 2011
