Mondavi - Cabernet Sauvignon To Kalon Vineyard Reserve 2011

JEB DUNNUCK: "The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve To Kalon has lots of classic Cabernet green and herbal notes as well as tobacco leaf, cedar, and assorted dark fruits. Nicely balanced, full-bodied, and elegant, it’s another 2011 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon that has a classic, Old World, Bordeaux-like style. It’s drink nicely now but has another 10-15 years of prime drinking."

JANCIS ROBINSON: "Floral, herbal, and fresh with mixed fresh fruits. Cocoa-powder tannins and abundant acidity carry into a long finish. Taut and reticent currently but seems to have everything to open and become a nicely balanced wine and evolve further."

WINE SPECTATOR: " A wine of finesse and polish, this displays striking grace and elegance, with firm, refined red berry, currant, black cherry and subtle vanilla oak notes.—Robert Mondavi vertical (December 2015). Drink now through 2025. 4,300 cases made."

DECANTER: "Ground coffee, ripe dark fruit and a touch of almond. Medium-bodied for napa, with a silky texture and an appealing lightness of touch and freshness from a mint note. Structured and elegant."
