2005 Robert Mondavi Winery Pinot Noir Carneros

Mondavi is an easy name to remember and look for in California Cabernet, since their quality generally matches their reputation. Following the sale of the winery to Constellation Brands in 2004, the winemaking team here continues to focus on "District" and "Reserve" wines, also producing limited quantities of vineyard-designated bottlings. Mondavi's consistently outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve release is largely based on a major holding in the superb and historic To-Kalon Vineyard in Oakville. Mondavi also makes some of California's richest and most serious Sauvignon Blanc bottlings.
