Christi & Alex are at it again, this time with a classic American "rags to riches" success story! However, like so many stories, it was not all wine & roses, but hard work, determination & the unshakeable confidence of one man that almost destroyed a family.
And somewhere in there, two brothers found themselves in the middle of vineyard, screaming and coming close to blows over a mink coat. THIS is what makes wine so interesting!
So Pop in the Earbuds, Pour yourself a Glass, & let's Drink Something AMAZING!

Winemaker Notes
Purple plum jam and blackberry are prominent on the nose, with hints of black pepper, vanilla wafer cookie, and earthy coffee bean. On the palate, sweet fruit notes of plum with touches of blueberry and dark chocolate, as well as velvety tannins and a beautiful salinity that begs you to take another sip.
ROBERT MONDAVI WINERY
Founded in 1966 by winemaking pioneer Robert Mondavi, whose vision was to create Napa Valley wines that could stand in the company of the world’s finest. It was the first major winery built in Napa Valley in the three decades following the repeal of Prohibition, Robert Mondavi Winery created the foundation for the modern-day California wine industry.
Mondavi chose to situate his estate next to To Kalon Vineyard, one of the most coveted wine growing parcels in the world, known for producing award-winning Cabernet Sauvignon and for its Sauvignon Blanc.
The first vintage (1966) of Robert Mondavi Winery's Cabernet Sauvignon is released. A shot heard throughout the Valley, it would inspire the waves of pioneers to follow. In time, the path Robert Mondavi cleared would lead to the creation of some of the finest Cabernet Sauvignons, Chardonnays, Merlots and Sauvignon Blancs in the world.
