Robert Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon 1976 is a mature-vintage Cabernet Sauvignon from the Napa Valley of California. Robert Mondavi is the undisputed godfather of modern Californian winemaking and the older vintages of Mondavi Cabernets are some of the most sought-after and collectible wines from the region. "The 1976 Mondavi cabernet sauvignon is a truly lovely example of this drought vintage, delivering excellent purity and elegance on both the nose and palate. The very classy nose shows almost none of the `roasted` tones that I frequently find in ’76 cabernets, wafting from the glass in a very classy mélange of red cherries, a touch of eucalyptus, woodsmoke, lovely soil tones, a whisper of chipotle pepper and a nice touch of fresh herbs in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and quite velvety on the attack, with a fine core of fruit, impressive complexity and still a bit of tannin perking up the long and focused finish. The acidity here is really quite lovely, giving the wine bounce and vibrancy and there are still decades of life ahead for this excellent 1976 cabernet." John Gilman, 2012

Robert Mondavi Winery

Robert Mondavi Winery

It's hard to overstate the influence of Robert Mondavi in Napa. Founding his eponymous winery in 1966, Mondavi worked tirelessly to promote the world class terroir of California and the high quality fruit they could produce - particularly Cabernet Sauvignon. The winery produce bottlings at all levels - from every day table wine to some of the world's greatest reds. In 1978, Robert Mondavi teamed up with Baron Philippe de Rothschild, of Château Mouton Rothschild, to create Opus One - a collaborative venture that aimed to establish a Bordeaux style Grand Vin in Napa.

Currently the chief winemaker is Geneviève Janssens, a French born oenologist with a formidable pedigree. The wines are bold and full, but still look back to the Old World for inspiration - expect structure and elegance alongside ripe and vibrant fruit character. The standard Cabernet Sauvignon and the Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve both deserve a place in the cellar of any serious collector and have a proven track record of ageing for decades.
