Thin Pinot hue with aromas of strawberries, ash and spice.
Palate--Juicy structure with more structure than flavor; solid acidity, austere Pinot flavors but what's there is tasty. Finishes better than it starts.
I could write a book on Robert Mondavi and the legacy he left to Napa Valley and the country of wine as a whole. When he passed, Mondavi wines changed. They "may" still produce elegant, desirable wines but I am now at an income level where I probably couldn't afford them even if I wanted them.
At any rate this is a $7 dollar Pinot Noir sourced from California and it is to be passed on. My wife grabbed it on sale which I am glad she did as I have not had a Mondavi wine in many years. I STILL haven't had a Mondavi wine... Pass on this.
