1987 Robert Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve [WA95]

Producer: Robert Mondavi Winery  Region: Napa Valley, California Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon Year: 1987  Wine Advocate, 95 Points  "This has a wonderful lifted minty nose that actually reminds me of a great Mouton-Rothschild. Sublime definition and purity with scents of blackberry, black plum and just a touch of prune. Very intense and beautifully defined. The palate is medium-bodied, very svelte and supple, beautiful balance and poise, notes of blackberry, cedar, black plum and just a touch of iodine. Elegant finish. Superb."  Jancis Robinson,  "Aromatics of green bell pepper with a musky note that integrates with time in the glass. The green herbal notes carry forward into the palate lifting the wine from a core of creamy spice and mixed fruits. There is a lot of amplitude and density on the palate here with nice aromatic complexity and a lifting freshness. This is a pleasant wine that drinks well right now but does have a few years left in the bottle."  Alcohol: 12.5%  *Discounts
