The Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon - Robert Mondavi

With the Robert Mondavi The Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, a first-class red wine flows into the glass. It reveals a wonderfully dense, ruby-red color. When the glass is tilted slightly, a transition of the hue towards garnet red can be seen at the rim of this barrel-aged wine. Swirling the glass reveals this red wine’s great density and richness, which shows in pronounced legs on the glass. Poured into a Burgundy goblet, this red wine from the USA reveals wonderfully fragrant and complex aromas of blueberry, violet, lily, and damson plum, rounded off by juniper, dark chocolate, and cinnamon contributed by maturation in wooden casks.

On the palate, Robert Mondavi’s The Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon opens wonderfully aromatic, fruit-driven, and balanced. Some wines are dry on the label, others truly are. This red wine belongs to the latter group, as it was bottled with only 0.7 g of residual sugar. Powerful and multi-layered, this velvety, creamy, and dense red wine presents itself on the palate. Thanks to its lively acidity, The Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon shows itself wonderfully fresh and vibrant on the palate. The finish of this very age-worthy red wine from the winegrowing region of California, more precisely from Napa Valley, ultimately delights with an exceptional length.
