Napa Valley Reserve AVA Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 Robert Mondavi Winery

This Cabernet Sauvignon Riserva is born in the splendid vineyards of Robert Mondavi Winery, located in Napa Valley, California.

It is produced with Cabernet Sauvignon grapes and a small quantity of Cabernet Franc grapes, harvested manually in October following a very rigorous selection method. After destemming and maceration for about a month, the wine is placed in oak barrels to start fermentation. In the same containers, the product carries out the evolutionary process that lasts more than 20 months, to further amplify its organoleptic characteristics. Bottling and a long aging in glass follows.

This Cabernet Sauvignon Riserva has a very intense ruby red color, with purple textures. It delights the nose with a remarkable aromatic complexity, where the first fruity hints of blackberry and blueberry are followed by spicy notes of cinnamon and tobacco, with delicate sensations of sage. In the mouth it is of excellent structure, with soft tannins and a good persistent acidity, which accompanies a perfectly balanced finish, where woody notes conferred by the barrel re-emerge.

It goes well with important and elaborate dishes such as grilled meats, stewed meats and roasts. Perfect for a formal dinner.
