A blend of Sonoma with 14% Napa fruit. Deep purple-ruby colour with a bouquet of plum, black cherry and mocha chocolate; full-bodied, mouth-filling flavours of black plum and cherry with chocolate notes finishing with ripe, grainy tannins.
Lively scents of brambleberry with characteristic Zinfandel peppery spice lead the way for generously ripe wild berry and dark berry flavours backed by good tannic structure, finishing with well-integrated dark fruit, black chocolate and oaky spice.
This is a special one-off release from the legendary Mondavi winery in Napa Valley to celebrate the 50th anniversary. It’s a blend of 59% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot and 3% Malbec and has a ripe nose of plums, blackberries, earth/savoury spices and jammy red fruits. It is complex with juicy, ripe fruits and elegant oak spices on the palate. It is mouth-filling, with firm structure and an abundance of tannins yet has finesse and elegance through the finish.
Mondavi’s flagship red is a big, powerful Napa Cab with no harsh edges. Concentrated and ripe, there is cassis, blackberry, plum, raspberry, mint, mocha, creosote, vanilla and earth. Full-bodied with grand length and tannins to take it to 2035.
Peach pie, pineapple, honey, nutmeg, vanilla, caramel, citrus, cream, orange peel and sweet apple are all present in this polished Chardonnay. Excellent length, crisp acidity and a spice-tinged finale cap it all off.
One of the most consistent wineries in California. This Chardonnay is straw-coloured with a spicy, pear-and-grilled-cashew-nut nose topped by a vanilla oak note. Full-bodied and dry, its mouth-filling sweet and savoury flavours are balanced by well-integrated oak. Great length, finishing on tropical-fruit notes and great value.
Zesty wild berry, peppery spice and green herb carry through on the palate with lively wild berry (brambleberry) flavours together with peppery and herbal notes and a light splash of chocolate. Easy to like and a good match for charcuterie, grills and pizza.
