"Even darker and more inky in colour, there's lots of cassis and blueberry depth to this, with a hint of fudge-like warmth and fruit ripeness. On the palate super-sweet fruit is black and chocolaty, with very fine but warm and supple tannins adding plenty of backbone, and good acidity matching against the fruit and smooth, creamy oak in the finish. Has structure, but in an overall softer, more approachable mould. This seems very opulent and New Worldy in style."

"Textbook Napa Cab. It's dry, smoothly tannic and subtle, with blackberry, cassis and dark chocolate flavors nicely intrigued with herbs, tobacco and cedar. Just delicious now and for the next few years."

"With rich, sweet blackberry and cocoa flavors, this is a very nice Cabernet for drinking with a good meal. It's a little rough around the edges, with jaggy tannins. Ready now."

"Smells and tastes a bit weedy or stalky, with slightly green blackberry and cherry flavors. The absence of fruit accentuates the tannins, making them feel harder than they really are. Drink now."

91 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Robert Mondavi Winery Cabernet Sauvignon" from the vintage 2005 on 01.01.2008 with 91 of 100 points.
"A lovely young Cab, rich and balanced, and with the elegance you expect from this producer. Made from all 5 Bordeaux varieties, with a drop of Syrah, the wine is potent in red and black currant, blackberry and new oak flavors, with sweetly ripe tannins. Delicious now, it should develop through 2015."
yr. 2004 Wine Enthusiast:
87 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Robert Mondavi Winery Cabernet Sauvignon" from the vintage 2004 on 01.01.2007 with 87 of 100 points.
"Inquiring minds have wondered if the buyout of Mondavi by Constellation would result in diminished wines. So far, so good. This basic Cabernet continues Mondavi's tradition, a dry, balanced and elegant wine, much of which is from ToKalon. It's not a blockbuster, but who needs or can afford blockbusters?"

86 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Robert Mondavi Winery Cabernet Sauvignon" from the vintage 2003 on 01.01.2006 with 86 of 100 points.
"Dry, rich and thick in tannins, and rather soft, this Cabernet is extremely ripe in blackberry, cassis and coffee flavors. The hot vintage seems to have taken its toll in balance, for the wine is a little heavy, even by Mondavi standards, which are usually leaner than many Napa Cabs."
yr. 2001 Wine Enthusiast:
89 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Robert Mondavi Winery Cabernet Sauvignon" from the vintage 2001 on 01.01.2004 with 89 of 100 points.
"Showcases the restraint in fruit that characterizes Mondavi, and so different from many of his neighbors' lavishly ripe Cabs. The hallmark is elegance and drinkability, with its moderated berry flavors, earthiness and robust tannins. Should age well through the decade."
yr. 1998 Wine Enthusiast:
85 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Robert Mondavi Winery Cabernet Sauvignon" from the vintage 1998 on 01.01.2001 with 85 of 100 points.
"Smells sharp and minty, with a green streak of raw oak, and tastes similarly thin and oaky. It stings with tannins from entry through dusty finish. Blackberry and plum flavors deep inside are smothered in tannins."
yr. 1997 Wine Enthusiast:
90 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Robert Mondavi Winery Cabernet Sauvignon" from the vintage 1997 on 01.01.2000 with 90 of 100 points.
"At the bottom end of our range, this stalwart is tightly wound and fairly driven. Plum and cassis on the palate offer just the slightest nuance of cured Italian meat. Coffee is dominant on the long, linear finish. Now it's pretty dark and unevolved. Patience will be rewarded."
yr. 1996 Wine Enthusiast:
91 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Robert Mondavi Winery Cabernet Sauvignon" from the vintage 1996 on 01.01.1999 with 91 of 100 points.
"A lively wine with brilliant fruit laid over supple tannins. The center is delicious, with spreading layers of black plum fruit, edged by a chocolate/coffee aura. Quite a tasty wine."
yr. 2014 VertdeVin:
93 of 100 Points.
"VertdeVin" has rated the wine "Robert Mondavi Winery Cabernet Sauvignon" from the vintage 2014 with 93 of 100 points.
"The nose is fruity and offers a slight structure, a slight roundness, a slight concentration / power as well as a slight richness. It reveals notes of crushed cassis and slight touches of crushed fleshy boysenberry combined with subtle hints of crushed strawberry, discreet touches of gray pepper, as well as a very discreet / imperceptible touch of ripe red bell pepper (in the background). The palate is fruity, well-balanced, a bit aerial and offers a slight freshness, minerality, a beautiful acid frame (in the background) as well as roundness. On the palate this wine expresses fine notes of juicy cassis, blackberry cream and juicy raspberry combined with slight touches of strawberry as well as subtle hints of juicy black berries, a few discreet woody hints as well as subtle / discreet hints of vanilla (in the background). Tannins are well-built and very slightly firm. Good length and good persistence. There are a very discreet hint of salinity and a touche of a dark chocolate square on the finish."
