When tim mondavi describes his cabernet sauvignon wines from the oakville region of Napa valley, he admires their powerful flavors and muscular tannins, but he most loves their elegance and the way they coat one's palate with velvet. Oakville is distinguished by an alluvial fan extending from the base of the mayacamas mountains that form the valley's Western border. The oakville bench, which lies against the hills, has well-drained soils that allow deep rooting and the development of complex flavors in the grapes. We selected all oakville bench vineyards for this wine, including 82% from robert mondavi's historic to kalon vineyard.

Red Blend
Adobe Red
The adobe red is a proprietary zinfandel-based blend with effusive aromas of cherry spice, blackberry and pepper, with hints of brambles and plum. Cherry/berry flavors dominate on the palate. The tannins are fine and supple, and a bit of oak character adds additional vanilla notes to the balanced finish.

Castello Banfi Rosso di Montalcino
Castello banfi rosso di montalcino is a wine of noble origins and impressive original thinking. Made from 100% select sangiovese clones, rosso di montalcino is considered brunello`s younger sibling. Rosso di montalcino is aged less than its elder counterpart - 12 months in wood (half in French oak barrique and half in slavonian oak casks) followed by at least 6 months in the bottle before release. It is deep ruby-red in color with a dry, round, velvety taste and generous body - characteristics similar to those desired in a great brunello. Castello banfi rosso di montalcino is an outstanding companion to veal, red meats and cheeses.
