2012 Mondavi Oakville Cab!!!




2012 Robert Mondavi Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon...$49.99
Next lowest price on Wine-Searcher is $55Year in and year out this is one of the greatest values in California Cabernet, as 93% of the fruit for this wine comes from the famed To-Kalon Vineyard. The starting price for To-Kalon designated wines is around $150 a bottle and goes up to well over $500. While the 2012 Mondavi Oakville Cabernet as not been rated the 2010 merited 94+/100 from Robert Parker, the 2012 is out of this world good, we liked it so much we bought it all.

Bullet points:
  • Amazing 2012 Vintage
  • Robert Robert Parker rated the Cabernet vintage for California a "96E".  96 points is the highest he has a rated a vintage since 2007 Cabs.  "E" means that they are accessible "early".  They are drinking well young, so you can enjoy them much sooner.
  • 96 is the highest he has rated a California Cab vintage and 2012 is only the 3rd time since 1970 on his vintage chart he has rated a vintage 96
  • 93% To-Kalon Vineyard in this wine! Arguable the best Cabernet Vineyard in California.
  • Only $49.99 we are the lowest price in the country by $5
  • 2010 Vintage was one of our favorites and this one even surpasses that wine!
