Robert Mondavi Winery Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 1998

The Vintage Napa Wanted to Forget

Robert Mondavi Winery Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 1998 · Napa Valley, USA · tasted 26 February 2021

El Niño gave Napa twice its normal rainfall, eighteen frost nights and a cold bloom. The 1998 Reserve was written off almost on release. At twenty-three years it had the last word.
