This was a small tasting in attendance were Piroca and Jimmy. There were two covered bottles.1. Robert Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
This was a very pleasant wine. The smell and taste was that of a typical Cali Cab. We both liked the smell better then the taste. It was deep in color with the taste of black fruits oaky and rich. No official score was give but I will give it a 2+ with a side note that uncle P was impressed with its PQR.
2. Robert Mondavi "Reserve" Napa Cabernet Sauvignon 2004This is a wonderful wine! It is very complex with great depth. The smell has the richness that lingers. There is no need to drink just breath deeply and enjoy. Very dense purple color. Taste and smell of anise, smoky oak, cedar, black currants, spice, and leather. The is rich and long. This wine gets a 4+
The 2004 Mondavi is in the top 10 of the Wine Spectator 2007 top 100 list. It has a blend mostly form To-Kalon of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot
