Process & Profile

Robert Mondavi’s Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic California red crafted from estate-grown fruit and select vineyards throughout the valley. The wine blends Cabernet Sauvignon with small amounts of Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, and Malbec to enhance complexity. After fermentation, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and is aged for 18 months in French oak barrels—roughly 30% new—to deliver balance, structure, and rich texture.
