Robert Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon


"... That being said, Mondavi's 1994 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is an exquisite wine, as well as a Cabernet that may turn out to be one of the wines of the vintage. The deep opaque purple color, and tightly wound nose and flavors still reveal enough profound aromas and flavors to mark this as one of Mondavi's most sensational efforts. The nose possesses a Margaux/Mouton-like cassis, lead pencil, floral aroma, backed up by copious quantities of blackcurrant fruit. In the mouth, my notes said, "great stuff." The wine is full-bodied, layered, multi-dimensional, and astonishingly well-balanced, with an inner-depth and core of exceptional richness and intensity. All of this has been accomplished without any notion of obtrusive weight, tannin, or alcohol. The finish lasts for 35+ seconds.Because of its luxurious quantity of fruit, this wine will be accesible young, thus much of it will be drunk long before it ever reaches full maturity. However, for those able to buy more than a bottle ot two, and who possesses the discipline to wait 10-15years, this wine should prove to be a formidable California Cabernet with a rare complexity, elegance, and richness. It should be at its best between 2002-2025..." RP - 98 (Subject to Availability) RMCR94 RMCR94

Yesterday they poured concrete. Today I ordered house warming invitations. Date on invitations: 21 September. This may well be foolhardy but I’m 100% comitted to moving into the new house by the 14th of September, and 100% committed to throwing an open house to warm said house. The 21st not only gives us enough time to unpack some boxes and find the couch, but is also our wedding anniversary. While we’re not particularly sentimental about such things, it seemed a good target date for Project

Yeah, it's my turn to swipe the meme all the cool kids have already done.1) Bold all the items you have eaten.2) Cross out any items that you would never consider eating.1. Venison - Back in the 80's when game was de rigueur.2. Nettle tea - Back in the 70's when weird teas were de rigueur.3. Huevos rancheros - Good Chicago diner breakfasts! In the 80's, I lived for them.4. Steak tartare - Yes, but I didn't like it. I'm like a little kid - I like my meat practically cooked to a crisp.5. Crocodi

Fri, 22 Aug 2008 18:34:30 PDT
