1997 Robert Mondavi, Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, Napa Valley, California, USA

The most famous red wine grape in the world and one of the most widely planted.

Napa Valley in California is renowned for producing exceptional wines, particularly Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. Its Mediterranean climate, diverse terroir, and skilled winemakers result in rich, full-bodied reds and elegant whites. With various producers offering memorable experiences, the wines are celebrated worldwide for their quality and ability to express the region's unique characteristics.

It would not be an overstatement to claim that Robert Mondavi has been the single biggest influence in Californian wine in the last 34 years. His family owned the Charles Krug Winery in St. Helena and Robert worked there for many years. After a family row he left the company in 1966 and created his own winery in Oakville. The company is now run by Robert`s two sons, with Michael as chief executive and Tim as winemaker.
