Cabernet Sauvignon · North Coast
94 points from Robert Parker.
“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.”
“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.”

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.
