About the Wine
This red wine is made by Robert Mondavi in California. A great all-rounder, as good with Mediterranean dishes as with spicy food or a Sunday roast.

Cabernet Sauvignon
Cab-air-nay So-veen-yawN
A full bodied and powerful grape variety with a lot of tannin. It ages very well and like Merlot is bottled as a single varietal or used to give blended wines ‘backbone’ structure and longevity. Classic flavour characteristics include blackcurrant, black cherry, green pepper, chocolate and cedar wood.

The Country
USA
The 2018 vintage was a welcome break for Californian wineries who over the last few years haven't had it easy with whole regions being threatened by the weather. Stereotyped for its big, bodied reds, there is certainly a lot more to the USA.
