Product Description
RP98 "The 2007 Proprietary Red comes mostly from the To Kalon vineyard, with 13% of the fruit from Pritchard Hill. Blended of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Cabernet Franc and 18% Petit Verdot, it has a deep garnet color and bursts out of the glass with pure cassis, vibrant blueberry preserves and blackberry pie scents with a profound underlying fragrance of candied violets, cinnamon stick, cloves and underbrush plus notions of beef drippings and pencil shavings. Full-bodied and voluptuously fruited with firm, ripe, grainy tannins and fantastic freshness, it has wonderfully pure layers, finishing very long. It has incredible delineation and should be very long lived." LPB for TWA Feb 2019
Robet Parker writes, "A glorious blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Cabernet Franc and 18% Petit Verdot, it boasts an inky/purple color as well as an extraordinary perfume of blueberries, blackberries, spring flowers and subtle hints of burning embers and earth. Akin to the seamlessness of haute couture from the likes of Chanel, the integration of acidity, tannin, alcohol and wood has been brilliantly accomplished by Mondavi. This textured, opulent, full-bodied wine cuts a lacy, graceful texture across the palate. A tour de force in winemaking, it is a profound wine from someone who has been front and center during the golden age of California Cabernet Sauvignon as well as the revolution in quality begun by his father.
"This appropriately named wine is the project of Tim Mondavi, whose father, Robert, was the great visionary of high quality for Napa Valley's wines. After the shocking sale of the flagship Robert Mondavi Winery, Tim Mondavi set up shop high on Pritchard Hill, not far from Bryant Family Vineyard and Colgin. As I have indicated in previous reports, Tim Mondavi started off impressively, and his 2007 looks to be the quintessential Continuum. It will be difficult to improve upon as it borders on perfection." Published: Dec 22, 2010"
