Robert Mondavi Winery The Reserve To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

2015 started warmer and drier than usual, without a drop of rain in January. These conditions continued well into April with some early irrigation in the vineyards. A cooler May reduced fruit set and provided the first signs of a lighter crop. The harvest brought in fruit at optimal flavour maturity before a series of heat waves hit the valley. Overall, the 2015 harvest is one of the earliest on record with specially selected grapes picked between September 7 and September 24.

96 Pts. "Very complex and changing all the time with red fruit,tile, blackberries and a hint of black truffle. Full-bodied, firm and chewy with focus and reality. Firm and driven with compact and super fine tannins. Drink now or hold."
— James Suckling

96 Pts. "Full-bodied, rich and concentrated in the mouth, theripe, opulent black fruit is well supported by velvety tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing long and spicy."
