Robert Mondavi Winery To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
A powerhouse wine, this iconic Cabernet Sauvignon shows the complexity and intensity of our historic To Kalon vineyard, with mouth-filling flavors of fleshy, blackberry, black plum and black currant fruits, savory herbs, black and white pepper, and cardamom spice structured by generous, well-integrated tannins and bright acidity. An iconic, showstopper wine.
When the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes achieved optimal ripeness, they were hand-harvested into small boxes and carefully transported to our gravity-flow To Kalon Cellar. After hand sorting, the clusters were gently destemmed directly into traditional French oak tanks for fermentation and extended maceration – a total of 34 days of skin contact. The new wine was drained and the skins were gently pressed into 100% new French oak barrels where malolactic fermentation was completed.
