Mondavi Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 1974

HED9149 75cl 12%
`Robert Mondavi Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 1974 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 1974 Reserve was a blend of 86% Cabernet and 14% Merlot. It was matured in 75% Frenck oak and 25% American oak for 30 months. "Hailing from another benchmark vintage, the 1974 Mondavi Reserve offers up aromas of cassis, cherries, mocha and cigar ash, followed by a deep, full-bodied palate. Whereas the 1975 is more elegant and ageworthy, the 1974 is more pliant and voluptuous." Decanter, 2016

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.
