Suckling 99 and American Wine of the Year:
An amazingly complex, dynamic wine that demands your attention from the first sniff to the lingering finish. Aromas of redwood forest, rosemary, purple flowers and black cherries, then black tea, pomegranate, dark cherry, dried raspberry and wild mushroom flavors. Fine-grained moderate tannins and crunchy acidity give it such a firm backbone. Drink now or hold.
Perhaps the most impressive Pinot yet from Robert Mondavi’s grandchildren Carlo and Dante.
