Last Tasted 2/93 This wine's roasted, baked, cassis aroma is typical of the vintage. One of the few Mondavi Reserve Cabernets from the late seventies to reveal amber/rust hues at the edge, it is simple, straightforward, and chunky, with supple, jammy, ripe flavors. I would opt for drinking this monochromatic, straightforward wine over the next 5-7 years.

Shows a good red garnet color, yet this is fading, dry and herbal, with earthy dried currant notes.--'76/'86 California Cabernet retrospective. Drink now. -JL
