Mondavi, Opus One other_regions over the span of 38

over the span of 38 years

The pH is 3

don’t mind a year without having to make the significant but very worthwhile investment acquiring these wines requires

The palate is rounded and candied on the entry with orange pith and light apricot notes

I am not sure how Angelo Gaja and his team do it

Mondavi, Opus One other_regions over the span of 38Sometimes a little overlooked, this is a vintage that falls closer to 2012 than 2013 in profile, at least on this showing it has velvety tannins that pack a punch, and the concentration is clear, with well structured confident tannins and a deep swirl of black pepper. 2% Malbec, 7% Petit Verdot completes the blend. 20 days skin contact. Earliest bud break in history, mild and dry seasons, harvest from September 5 to October 7.
