Impossible Perfection

Robert Mondavi Winery

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Heavily scuffed label that it is impossible to identify the vintage.

Bricked purple. Opaque and non-transparent. Widened rim.

Dried black currant, herbaceous, dusty red soil.

Great traditional Napa structure - medium high acidity, medium body, harmonious tannin, dry. Amazing pedigree of a wine. Black currant, blackberry, dark cherry. No trace of stewed fruits or overripeness.

This is the traditionalist's dream wine. Fresh, no over-extraction, sensible oak barrel usage. Long lasting and classic. 92.

I'm going there during my honeymoon in France in October! I was excited to learn that they own Chateau Pontet Canet in Pauillac! Since 1975

Shafer Vineyards

Hillside Select Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon 1997

Perhaps the best bottle of wine I have ever had! Pure perfection! Elegant, rich, perfectly balanced, huge aromas, still tons of fruit, and a finish that's still lingering. Better still, I enjoyed this bottle at Martin Berasetegui in San Sebastián, a 3 star Michelin restaurant. Outstanding!! — 11 years ago

Finally was able to taste the 2002, way too young and clear why they waited and held this release back. This should easily go up a few more points with time, maybe perfection. — 10 years ago
