Lot #790. Robert Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 1997

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 95 RP.
"The profound 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve boasts a saturated ruby/purple color. Production (about 20,000 cases) of this sweet, opulently-textured, rich, full-bodied wine should guarantee widespread availability. Aged in 100% new French oak, this blend of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot offers a textbook varietal nose of cedar wood, licorice, creme de cassis, and pain grille. Full-bodied, with explosive sweetness and fruit on the attack, this gloriously pure, superbly well-delineated wine should be drinkable young, and last for 3 decades." Wine Advocate #126, Jan 2000
Provenance: The Maquereau Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $120
