Tasting notes
Mondavi’s Fumé Blanc Reserve was one of the first high-quality Sauvignon Blancs – or as Mondavi called it, Fumé Blanc – in Napa, serving as a pioneering catalyst in the movement with this variety. The 2014 version is a beauty, with the texture of a Chardonnay, luscious honeysuckle, lemon blossom and tangerine oil notes, medium body, beautiful concentration and purity, and a long, dry, authoritative finish. This is a winner to drink over the next 4-5 years.

Mondavi's 2014 Fumé Blanc Reserve is endowed with real phenolic intensity and minerality. Expressive and nuanced in the glass, the 2014 captures all of the gravitas and pedigree of these vines in the historic To-Kalon Vineyard. Brisk, clean, varietal Sauvignon Blanc overtones race through to the finish.
