Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petite Verdot
"An iron fist in a velvet glove, this wine begins with a supple, rich core of currant, black cherry, anise and sage, firming up with tannins from oak and grape. Glides along gracefully, never losing the core fruitiness, while the tannins and gravelly earth accents lend the flavors tension and traction. Drink now through 2029." - J.L., Wine Spectator, October 31, 201595 Points & Publisher's Pick
"Robert Mondavi and the To Kalon Vineyard need no introduction, even to some of those outside of the industry, but this particular showing makes The Tasting Panel realize that the Robert Mondavi Winery is certainly not resting on its laurels and why it's this year's "Big Man on Campus." To Kalon lives up to its phenomenal reputation in this dynamic interpretation of its dusty, earthy, sweet chocolate-brandied soil. Soft and rich with underlying muscle (but no tight grip, no bite or greenness) that is bathed in violet, graphite and a preternaturally divined plum and blueberry." - Meridith May, The Tasting Panel, February 1, 2017
