| COMMENTS: |
This huge Cabernet is indicative of the old school Mondavi Reserves and is worth the high price. Opaque purple color and syrupy-sweet smelling aromas entice, but the high tannins make you want to wait an hour or so to drink. Much like other big Napa cabs (Pride, DAV, etc) this one doesn't disappoint. Berries, black currant, graphite and grilled steak dominate the first few glasses until it mellows, the tannins fade and the next two hours of drinking are smooth and silky with a 40+ second finish. One of the best Mondavi Reserve Cabs to date.

| COMMENTS: |
One of the top 2001 Napa cabs that I have had the pleasure to drink so far. This wine is simply great.
It has an overwhelming soft melted caramel and toffee character to it that makes it deliciously plush. In addition, it is layered with sweet dark fruits and heavy tannins. The tannins are a bit dominating now, but I would expect with 10 years of cellar time that this will be resolved. The finish is long and mouth filling.
