Cardinale Cabernet Sauvignon 2006
Robert Mondavi Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2009
Cardinale Cabernet Sauvignon 2006
Vintage:
2006
Acclaim:
Cardinale creates a single, limited production Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend from each vintage, drawing from the distinct and diverse vineyards situated in the Mt. Veeder, Howell Mountain, and Stags Leap regions of Napa Valley. The geographic characteristics establish distinctive "footprints" of individual flavor components that lend to the unique and coveted complexity of this harmonious cuvee.
Tasting Notes:
A perfect balance of richness and vibrancy, this famed wine starts with a very fine nose of cedar, cassis, and violets, then turns dramatic and refined in the mouth. The wine has marvelous tannins, vast depth and length, and a full minute finish of sweet fruits and spices. It's a big, bold wine noted for its power, elegance, and voluptuous quality that defines Napa Valley winemaking at its finest.
Blend:
86% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Merlot
Cellaring:
Approachable now with proper decanting, though the wine has the stamina to be aged for ten years or more.
Robert Mondavi Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2009
Vintage:
2009
Acclaim:
A profusion of aromas - cr?me de cassis, black cherry coulis, anise, violet, black olive, fresh herb and smoke - spill out of the glass and scent the room. Profoundly deep, complex flavors echo the aroma with firm, well-integrated tannins, vibrant acidity and a long, cocoa-mineral finish.
Tasting Notes:
Saturated red-ruby. Currant, graphite, wild herbs, cedar and sexy oak on the nose, lifted by a floral topnote. A broad and very elegant midweight, with lively cassis and floral flavors burnished by mellow oak tones. Lovely fine-grained, long cabernet with excellent lift.
Blend:
Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.
Cellaring:
With proper cellaring, this wine should give drinking pleasure through 2023.
