Robert Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon 2004 Review and Journey

johncc @ June 6, 2008 # No Comment Yet

Hot Sunday afternoon in sunny Southern California. Perfect time for a nice, crisp Chardonnay. However, I was at a family function with over 20 tables in a Chinese Restaurant with a gang of Mondavi lovers. Not surprisingly, the wine of choice that afternoon was the 2004 Robert Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon. I?m not sure if the heat got to me or if this wine just didn?t go well with Chinese food. However, before I crush your hopes of this wine, I can only imagine how good the 2004 Mondavi Cabernet would go with a big juicy steak. The 2004 Mondavi Cabernet is what I would call a classic Cabernet with smooth, deep flavors from start to finish. This Cabernet didn?t come with a whole lot of fruit and berry flavors, but rather more of a bold, down to earth flavor (which is why I?m drooling merely putting this wine and steak together in my head). I would characterize this wine as full bodied with rounded tannins. Again, I would pick this wine at a romantic steak dinner out in open air. Robert Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon 2004
