Robert Mondavi Pinot Noir Carneros 2013 750ml

Robert Mondavi recognized early that the cool, windswept Carneros district, cooled by fog and breezes off San Pablo Bay, was ideal for Pinot Noir, and this Carneros bottling remains a classic expression of the region. The 2013 vintage was excellent across Napa, warm and steady with an early harvest. Wine Spectator described "a trim, tapered style" with dried berry, mineral, cedar and dried herb notes, and firm, fine-grained tannins. Wine Enthusiast found an unusual, distinctive profile of peppermint tea, eucalyptus, rhubarb and orange, light and bristling in the glass. Now mature, it shows savory, earthy character and should be enjoyed over the next year or two.
