The Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced primarily from the renowned To Kalon Vineyard, a site Mondavi championed for its exceptional gravelly soils and ability to deliver profound structure.

The 2022 vintage reflects the house's precision approach: careful cluster selection, extended maceration for fine-grained tannins, and ageing in new French oak to build depth. Over decades, Mondavi has refined this cuvée into a benchmark expression of Oakville Cabernet – balancing richness with elegance. Today, the Reserve continues to embody the founder's original vision, combining heritage and modern craftsmanship in a wine built for longevity.

Tasting
NOTES

Inky purple in colour, the nose is very expressive and concentrated, bursting with jammy black and red fruits such as blackcurrants, blackberries, blueberries and raspberries. On the palate it's equally luscious and full of concentrated red and black fruit flavours. The alcohol is high and the tannins are well structured, with sweet spices like clove, vanilla and gingerbread coming through from the oak. The finish is long, fresh and minty with hints of dark chocolate.

Food
PAIRINGS

With its black fruit flavours, this California cabernet would pair a treat with steak frites, roast duck, or confit lamb shoulder with rosemary and black olives.
