This tier represents the pinnacle of the wines produced by the winery. The 2021 vintage offers fresh black fruit with dark chocolate, dried herbs, and hints of vanilla and violet. Flavors of black plum and blackberry with red fruit and a hint of graphite on the finish. Elegant and plush with sweet, beautifully integrated tannins and a lengthy finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBlend: 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProfessional Ratings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e98Decanter\u003cbr\u003e\n2021 Robert Mondavi The Reserve To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a beautifully crafted wine with impressive intensity, depth, and a balanced structure that carries the day. From the To Kalon Vineyard in Oakville, the portion owned by Constellation, comes this blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot. Pure blackberry fruit, cassis, graphite, and violet aromas leap from the glass, nuanced by fragrant, toasty new cedar wood. Full-bodied, framed by an array of plush dark black fruit notes, currants, crème de cassis, and polished tannins that are firm and elongated, with ironstone mineral accents. Dynamic in its length and texture, it is utterly intriguing, with a beckoning quality that lingers after each sip. You want to know precisely where this wine is going—demanding your attention.\u003cbr\u003e\n97James Suckling\u003cbr\u003e\nWow, Mondavi’s top red wine is very impressive in 2021, all svelte but muscular and built for long-term enjoyment. A bit richer and more layered than the 2018 and 2016, and the signature sage character is subdued here. Showing great black fruit and flowers with integrated oak spices on the nose, the tannins building as you sip, black cherries, blackcurrants, cocoa and light graphite showing on the palate. So smooth and full-bodied but not heavy, lifted by fresh acidity and very fine-grained tannins. From organically grown grapes. Bottles from the 1990s are still great to drink, so no hurry to open it. Try from 2028.\u003cbr\u003e\n95Wine Spectator\u003cbr\u003e\nThis is lush and seductive in feel, with a gush of boysenberry and blackberry compote flavors that rolls through, along with melted black licorice, mocha and Christmas pudding accents. A flash of warm paving stone at the tail end keeps this grounded, and a charming purity emerges as this airs in the glass. Best from 2025 through 2040.\u003cbr\u003e\n93Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003cbr\u003e\nThe 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon To Kalon Vineyard Reserve is 94% Cabernet Sauvignon (Clones 4, 31 and 337) and 3% each Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Like the red blend, it spent 20 months in 100% new French oak. Subtle tobacco and cigar box shadings accent black cherries and cassis on the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is rich and velvety, showing ample length on the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Robert Mondavi Winery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68103657160928,"sku":"114620","price":279.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/files\/robert-mondavi-winery-to-kalon-vineyard-reserve-cabernet-sauvignon_1.jpg?v=1792698716","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/robert-mondavi-winery-to-kalon-vineyard-reserve-cabernet-sauvignon-2022-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
