Founded in 1966 by Robert Mondavi himself, the company is widely credited with kickstarting the modern era of California's wine industry. Robert Mondavi Winery makes a range of wines, from the value-driven Woodbridge and Private Selection labels to collectable, age-worthy wines from Napa Valley's famed To Kalon vineyard. Mondavi founded the winery after a less-than-amicable split from his family's business, Charles Krug. His stated aim was to swap quantity for quality, believing that good wine could be made in the valley. To Kalon, originally planted in 1868, became the epicentre of his estate, with Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc (often labeled Fumé Blanc in California) providing the backbone of the Mondavi range. Over the years, Mondavi has employed some of Napa's most famous winemakers, including Mike Grgich (of Chateau Montelena), Warren Winiarski (of Stag's Leap Wine Cellars) and Zelma Long (of Simi Winery). Today the winery makes wines from a host of grape varieties, including Merlot, Chardonnay, Zinfandel, Pinot Noir and Moscato. The range spans vineyards throughout Napa, including sites in Carneros and Stags Leap. Mondavi's Private Selection wines fall under the sizeable Central Coast appellation, and Woodbridge wines are labelled under the generic California appellation, although many of the vineyards are located in Lodi. One of Mondavi's most high-profile contributions to Californian winemaking came via a collaboration with Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Château Mouton Rothschild. Opus One, the resulting wine, first appeared in 1980, and has gone on to become one of California's more iconic Cabernet Sauvignon wines, netting both high praise and high prices. Although Opus One is now a separate entity to Robert Mondavi Winery, it still bears Mondavi's silhouette on the bottle. The Robert Mondavi brand was sold to beverage giant Constellation Brands in 2004, and Mondavi went on to found Continuum Estate with his son Tim and daughter Marcia. Mondavi passed away in 2008 at the age of 94.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-01-23T15:17:10-05:00","created_at":"2023-01-17T13:18:43-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_United States","NK1701","Other_Wine","Producer_Robert Mondavi Winery","Region_Napa Valley","Source_CanaWine0123","Type_Red Wine","varietal_cabernet sauvignon"],"price":117800,"price_min":117800,"price_max":117800,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42684753772682,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"1997 | Robert Mondavi Winery | Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":117800,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/17_0de0d90f-79d5-44c5-9fcb-9d68abda5151.jpg?v=1673979867"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/17_0de0d90f-79d5-44c5-9fcb-9d68abda5151.jpg?v=1673979867","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"1997 | Robert Mondavi Winery | Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon at CaskCartel.com","id":23991649534090,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.435,"height":1300,"width":565,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/17_0de0d90f-79d5-44c5-9fcb-9d68abda5151.jpg?v=1673979867"},"aspect_ratio":0.435,"height":1300,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/17_0de0d90f-79d5-44c5-9fcb-9d68abda5151.jpg?v=1673979867","width":565}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 1997 | Robert Mondavi Winery | Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElegant and stylish, with supple plum and black cherry fruit that's fleshy textured, picking up fresh herb, anise and loamy mineral flavors that give it complexity and depth.
