Robert Mondavi Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon

This cult wine from the Napa Valley is a remarkable taste-experience, although growing conditions were extremely difficult. This is a fabulous showing in a very challenging year

The Robert Mondavi Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon has a great depth, yet is remarkably accessible. 93% of the grapes for this blend come from the legendary vineyard To Kalon. The blend of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon as well as small amounts of Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Merlot and Malbec has a deep dark color. On the nose the wine is wonderfully diverse. It offers intense aromas of dark fruit, sage, bay leaf and fine nuances of black pepper.

On the palate, savory and with a clear, harmonious structure. The freshness, density, complexity and the persistent finish make the wine an extraordinary creation.

The new wine was drained and gently pressed into 92% new French-oak barrels for malolactic fermentation, assuring seamless integration of fruit and oak. The final blend was assembled through repeated tasting trials over the 20 months of barrel aging.

Robert Mondavi Winery

Robert Mondavi ist eine legendäre Persönlichkeit in der Weinwelt. Der Sohn italienischer Einwanderer setzte mit seinem Weitblick und seinen Qualitätsansprüchen Maßstäbe in der US-amerikanischen Weinwelt. 1966 gründete er die Robert Mondavi Winery in Oakville im kalifornischen Napa Valley. Das sagenumwobene Anbaugebiet „To Kalon“ im Herzen des Napa Valley ist das Zuhause des Weingutes. Einige der weltweit faszinierendsten Cabernet Sauvignon und der unverwechselbare Sauvignon Blanc „Fumé Blanc“ stammen aus diesen Lagen.

Es zählt zu den Wesensmerkmalen des Weingutes, immer die neuesten Techniken anzuwenden und gleichzeitig die über die Jahrhunderte gewachsenen Traditionen des Weinbaus zu respektieren. Das Anbaugebiet „To Kalon“ wurde ursprünglich 1868 bepflanzt. 1966 war die Robert Mondavi Winery die erste neue Kellerei im Napa Valley, die seit der Prohibitionszeit gegründet wurde. Hier zeigt sich die Weitsicht des Weinbaupioniers Robert Mondavi.

Seine internationale Anerkennung führte zu einigen bemerkenswerten Kooperationen. Mit Baron Philippe de Rothschild entwickelte Mondavi die Idee und realisierte die Produktion des außergewöhnlichen Weins Opus One. 1979 erwarb Mondavi das Weingut Woodbridge im Anbaugebiet Lodi. Unter dem Label Twin Oaks werden die besten Weine von Woodbridge abgefüllt.

Le Serre Nuove
Le Serre Nuove is a remarkable blend of  Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The grapes are very concentrated, with a perfect balance between ripe tannins, fresh acidity and intense, ripe flavors.Wine lovers can expect a concentrated, fine and soft red wine of great aromatic intensity. Scents of ripe red fruits are accompanied by tobacco leaf notes and spices. On the palate impress the great maturity and quality of soft, dense and smooth tannins.Each grape variety and each vineyard parcel was vinified separately. The wine was aged around 15 months in barriques. After the first 12 months, the wines were merged to mature for a further 3 months in barriques. A six-month aging in the bottle stood at the end of the process. Le Serre Nuove offers a remarkable aging potential, but is also already a pleasure.The winery "Tenuta dell'Ornellaia" was founded in 1981 by Marchese Lodovico Antinori – with the support of the legendary winemaker André Tchelistcheff. In the wine-world Tenuta dell'Ornellaia – situated in the Province of Livorno in Tuscany – fastly achieved an outstanding, almost legendary reputation, thanks to its exquisite creations.

Quintessa Napa Valley 2018
Quintessa, ein Flaggschiff von einem roten Kalifornier, ist eigentlich in jedem Jahr von so außerordentlicher Qualität und Intensität, dass man hier beinahe blind zugreifen könnte. Und dennoch unterscheiden sich auch diese Weine nach ihren jeweiligen Jahrgängen und den Bedingungen unter denen Sie hergestellt wurden, namentlich den Wettereinflüssen. So hat jeder Jahrgang seinen eigenen Charakter und seine individuellen Eigenschaften.Beim 2018er Quintessa lautet das Stichwort: Harmonie. Dieser Rebsaft ist immer ein Monolith der Frucht und der Sonne; hinzu kommt aber in 2018 noch eine unglaubliche Ausgewogenheit und Balance seines Wesens, die ihn ein weiteres Mal in die oberste Liga im Napa Valley katapultieren.Das Wetter in 2018 war in Rutherford, der Heimat des Quintessas, frei von jedweden Extremen und durchgängig mild. Der Herbst, die Erntezeit, lies allen Raum um präzise zur richtigen Zeit zu ernten, ohne jeden Druck, so dass eine perfekte Reife gewährleistet werden konnte.Intensive Aromen von Cassis, Schwarzkirsche, Himbeeren, etwas Salbei und Thymian, dunkle Schokolade, Graphit und frischer Tabak verbinden sich mit einem Korb von roten und schwarzen Früchten zu einem extrem harmonischen Gesamtkunstwerk. Die gut gegenbalancierende Säure und ein feines Gerüst von seidigen und geschliffenen Tanninen bilden die Basis, aus der sich ein schier unendlicher Ausklang ergibt.
