A Cellar Selection

2005 Robert Mondavi, Cabernet Sauvignon, Oakville, Napa

This wine reminds me of Old Napa: an earthy nose, expressive flavors of black cherry and cassis with tannins that are still gripping but mellowed over time. I purchased several bottles and the oak has integrated into this wine nicely over the past few years.

Great balance, great price, great pedigree. This is a great QPR value. I recall paying around $30, six or seven years ago.
