Robert Mondavi Pinot Noir Napa Valley 2010 750ml

Robert Mondavi opened his Oakville winery in 1966, the first major winery built in Napa Valley after Prohibition, and his team was among the early champions of Pinot Noir from the cool Carneros district at the southern end of the valley. This Napa Valley Pinot Noir draws on that cooler fruit to give a supple, approachable expression of the grape. The 2010 season was one of the coolest and latest in recent Napa memory, producing wines with lower alcohol, bright acidity and real elegance. Expect red cherry, raspberry and baking spice with earthy, forest-floor notes that have developed with age. Fully mature now, it should be enjoyed over the next couple of years.
