1997 Robert Mondavi Winery 'The Reserve' To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 
Originally planted in 1868, the To Kalon Vineyard has become recognized as one of the finest first-growth vineyards of the world. Ancient Greek for “the highest beauty,” To Kalon is the historic vineyard that provides Robert Mondavi Winery with grapes for its world-class Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve and Oakville District Cabernet Sauvignon

Robert Mondavi, who had such a profound influence on the quality of American wine, unfortunately left us to be with the Lord in 2008. He had plenty of reasons to feel great about his wines as they continue to represent some of the finest reference points for what California expressions can achieve.

Rating 94 RP - As for the 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve this wine seems more subdued than it did last year and might be going through a relatively closed stage. As it sat in the glass it took on an almost Ducru-Beaucaillou or Leoville-Las Cases St.-Julien-like character with notes of minerals cedar wood black currants tobacco and spice. This is a rich dark ruby/purple-colored wine with very complex aromatics medium to full body tight structure and plenty of tannin in the finish

    Robert Parker Rating 94 RP - The 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon To-Kalon Reserve, made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, is a brilliant Cabernet Sauvignon that has a dark ruby/purple color, a gorgeously broad, complex nose of cedar, black fruits, new saddle leather, and mineral. In the mouth, it is full-bodied, showing slightly higher tannin and austerity than it did last year, but there is no doubt this wine has depth, multiple layers of flavor, an expansive texture, and a long, reassuring, concentrated finish. It needs 4-5 years of cellaring, and should age for at least 30+ years.
    Antonio Galloni Rating 94 AG - Black raspberry, minerals and flowers on the nose, plus an exotic suggestion of apricot. Dense, lush and large, with an impressively outsized structure, but bright acids give the flavors excellent delineation. Conveys an impression of thoroughly ripe fruit and distinctive site character. Finishes with sweet, layered, palate-coating tannins.
