"One of the most extraordinary Cabernet Sauvignons Robert Mondavi has produced is the 1,000 case production of the 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon To-Kalon Reserve. Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, aromas of cedar, licorice, new saddle leather, walnuts, and cassis tumble from the glass. The wine boasts fabulous richness, a silky, sumptuous texture, a deep, chewy mid-palate, and an admirably pure, multilayered finish that exceeds 45 seconds. It will require 3-5 years of cellaring, and will keep for three decades or more. It is a prodigious Cabernet Sauvignon."
