Part of the estate on which Mondavi built his cellar included the legendary To Kalon vineyard, where one of the best Cabernet Sauvignons in the world is still cultivated, together with Sauvignon Blanc from which one of his most famous wines is produced : Fumé Blanc .

Robert Mondavi was one of the first producers to label varietal wines , a practice that today represents the New World standard and is undoubtedly the one who has most contributed to promoting wine tourism and spreading the idea of wine as a lifestyle product in the States United , all this earned him the reputation of "wine ambassador" and the nickname "Patriarch" .
