Wine Advocate # 186 Dec 2009 Robert Parker 95 Drink: 2009 - 2034 $85-$145 (135) The full-bodied, powerful, pure 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is another outstanding effort revealing notes of spring flowers, toasty oak, creme de cassis, licorice, and graphite. One would have to go back to the 1990, 1991, 2001, or 2002 to find a Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve this impressive. The 2007 should evolve for 20-25 years. I know there have been a lot of concerns about the huge Constellation empire running Mondavi, but these remain very impressive wines.
