The very rare Monastery Block bottling: from very densely planted vines at the base of the Mayacamas Mountains, the Monastery Block represents perhaps the finest parcel within the To Kalon Vineyard and has for decades formed the backbone of Mondavi's greatest Reserve bottlings. This block is adjacent to both the MacDonald and Beckstoffer To Kalon parcels.
