If you’ve read this site enough you’ll know that I am a big fan of wines from Mondavi. Here is a wine video that I found on YouTube about one of my favorite wines and wineries.
Robert Mondavi 2004 Oakville District Cabernet Sauvignon – Red WineRed Wine by Robert Mondavi from Napa Valley, California. Blend: 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot The 2004 Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon is a luxurious wine that captivates the eye with hues of deep blue and purple. Vivid aromas unfold with layers of blueberry, blackberry and black currant, complemented by hints of cocoa, vanilla, spice, cedar and exotic black tea. The big, juicy structure frames rich, generous flavors. Powerful and mouthfilling yet tightly knit, this youthful beauty will blossom with age. A classy wine that’s rich and intense, with a concentrated mix of mineral, currant, blackberry, dusty herb and cedary oak flavors. Though deep and well-structured, this maintains a sense of elegance and grace, making it a good choice for near- and mid-term cellaring. Best from 2008 through 2014. Wine Spectator 93 Points
Allegrini 2006 Palazzo della Torre – Red WineRed Wine by Allegrini from Veneto, Italy. This blend of 70% Corvina Veronese, 25% Rondinella and 5% Sangiovese is a smooth, full bodied cru made in an innovative ripasso style. After the harvest, the grapes from the Palazzo della Torre vineyard follow two different paths: 70% of the grapes picked are vinified immediately, and the remaining 30% are left to dry until the end of December. The fresh juice obtained at harvest is blended with the juice for the dried grapes, initiating a second fermentation, and rendering a more highly concentrated and complex wine. What Allegrini affectionately refers to as their baby Amarone is more approachable with its pleasant fruity character with raisin-like qualities. Pairs well with a wide range of first courses, including full-flavored pasta and risotto dishes. Also enjoy with roasts such as veal, turkey and lamb, as well as with grilled meats such as barbequed chicken, steak or sausages. Excellent with hard and semi-hard cheeses.
Zenato 2001 Amarone – Italian Red WineRed Wine by Zenato from Veneto, Italy. This is a dark, rich wine with deep, smokey, plum and chocolate fruit aromas. The wine is very rich in fruit and very long on the palate. One of the most exciting wines on the market. Recommended with hearty preparations. Excellent when paired with truffles. Amarone enthusiasts will be delighted by the resin, cola, menthol and pressed raisin notes that this gorgeous wine delivers. It’s a big, bold wine that doesn’t hold back in terms of heat, power and general intensity. -Wine Enthusiast
Masi 2006 Costasera Classico Amarone – Red WineRed Wine by Masi from Veneto, Italy. Deep, dark ruby red with thin violet tinges on the edges. Strong bouquet of baked fruit, plums and cherries, which provide the fruit flavors on the palate and are accompanied with attractive hints of coffee and cocoa. Excellent balance between supporting acidity and soft tannins that melt into an intriguing softness. Imposing structure and good alcoholic level gives this Amarone an attractively long finish.
