Robert Mondavi 2011 Reserve To Kalon Vineyard Fumé Blanc (Napa Valley)

Country: US / Reserve To Kalon Vineyard
Variety: Fumé Blanc California
Winery: Robert Mondavi / Napa Valley

The cool vintage resulted in an unusually lean and streamlined, but by no means uninteresting, wine. It’s subtly fruity with hints of citrus zest and grapefruit. The main note, however, is gooseberry—barely ripe, acidic, mouthwatering and white peppery. The finish is absolutely dry. It should develop earthy, dried fruit notes over the next six years.
