User Reviews for Robert Mondavi Winery Chardonnay Carneros Unfiltered
Add your reviewI thought it was over-rated for a reserve cab. I expected more. It wasn't offensive, but it wasn't particularly amazing, either, that it should have been granted any sort of reserve status. Here's to hoping the winemaker selects better lots for reserve in the future. D-{
Wow! Still drinking great in 2008. A beautiful rich, well made bottle of wine. Velvety on the palate with well balanced acidity and tannins. A mouthfull of black and red fruits with some tobacco and leather notes. Finish is long and smooth. Nose is robust and inviting.
A special at the Capital Grill recently, truly surprised at the depth of this wine. excellent
Wonderfully rich, noble nose with hints of eucalyptus. Rich red and black berry fruit on the palate with some menthol. Lovely structure and mouthfeel. Great balance and in its sweet spot. Drinking very well presently. 97 pts. 5/26/12
Panicked when I first opened it, because it smelled like bandaids. That happily blew off almost immediately, revealing layers of cassis, pllum, spice, and smoothly integrated tannins. This was a classic Napa Cab, aged to perfection. It may have another year in it, but its beautifully drinkable now so I wouldn't wait.
External Reviews for Robert Mondavi Winery Chardonnay Carneros Unfiltered
This flagship wine shows impeccable balance and finesse. It's well put together, as the couture people say, and drips with lavish, minty French oak. Soft tannins add interest as well as ageability. The wine is not lavishly fruity; instead, the flavor... Wine Enthusiast. A Cabernet Sauvignon wine from California in USA. 1999 Mondavi, Robert Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 750ml
An enormously complex and sophisticated wine that combines great flavors with uncommon finesse. Dark, sleek, rich and polished, with a delicious core of concentrated cola, currant, plum and blackberry. Tremendous finish. Best from 2004 through 2014..... Wine Spectator. A Cabernet Sauvignon wine from California in USA. 1999 Mondavi, Robert Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 750ml
Saturated dark red. Moderately full-bodied. Highly extracted. Quite tannic. Earth, mineral. Rich aromas hinting of dark fruits and earth. Dense, gripping palate of granular tannins, with fleshy dark fruits. Big shouldered, young at present, but drinkable.
Rich and complex yet restrained in style, with pretty coffee, currant, black cherry, spice and anise flavors that fan out nicely, this California Cabernet turns particularly elegant and polished on the long finish. Drink now through 2007.
There are approximately 60,000 cases of Mondavirsquo;s 1999 Chardonnay. If one wants to offer a model of restraint and European-like elegance in a Napa wine, this is not a bad effort. Refreshing, with good pear and tropical fruit presented in a medium-bodied, subtle style, the wine is clean, pure, and attractive, but how many people will be excited? Anticipated maturity: nowndash;2004.
Tight, lemony and lessy, this wine strides off in its own direction, away from pronounced oak and superripe fruit, more in the direction of mineral and stone. Itrsquo;s austere, sleek and steely, softened by less creaminess, but angular. Call it Chablisian.
