Robert Mondavi Winery Fumé Blanc Napa Valley 2009

Not clear why the winery has to identify this on the front label as Sauvignon Blanc after all these years of calling it Fumé Blanc, but it’s an awfully good wine, especially at this price. Dry and crisply acidic, it shows mouthwateringly clean flavors of citrus fruits, gooseberries and minerals.

Fresh, mouth-watering flavors of white peach and kumquats ensconced in creamy texture. Vibrant and expressive, with a beautiful balance of weight and zesty acidity, this elegant wine closes with a long, memorable finish.

Bright pale yellow. Piquant aromas of lemon peel and grapefruit. Juicy and moderately intense, with brisk acidity and a stony quality to the flavors of grapefruit, flowers and spearmint. Just 25% new oak, with a low pH of 3.14.

Melon, apple, yellow raisin and peach flavors have a spicy, fresh herbal component and a fleshy texture, with plenty of acidity to keep this refreshing and balanced. Drink now.
