Our Peter Mondavi Family Cabernet Sauvignon possesses aromas of ripe black cherry with a hint of nutmeg. A rich, round mouthfeel and soft, integrated tannins lead to a finish of rich, dark chocolate.
The 2006 growing season was preceded by abundant rainfall through April. In spite of much flooding in many vineyards, budbreak showed overall consistent quality, but near-record high temperatures in July brought the advancement of brix levels almost to a halt through the end of August as the vines "hibernate" in such extreme heat. Extended and quality enhancing hang time required a late harvest; overall, the quality of the fruit was very good in spite of many weather extremes.
