<p>On the palate, the wine reflects the very expressive terroir of the To Kalon Vineyard with ripe blue and black fruits&mdash;mineral-laced dark berries and powerful, integrated tannins for which this vineyard is known. The lush aromatics and well developed flavors are wrapped in firm, velvety tannins, giving the wine an exceedingly long, aristocratic finish.</p><p><br /><em>&quot;The full-bodied, powerful, pure 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is another outstanding effort revealing notes of spring flowers, toasty oak, creme de cassis, licorice, and graphite. One would have to go back to the 1990, 1991, 2001, or 2002 to find a Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve this impressive. The 2007 should evolve for 20-25 years.&quot;</em> - <strong>Robert Parker,&nbsp;The Wine Advocate - September 2010<br />95 Points</strong></p><p><br />&quot;A wonderful expression of stylish Cabernet that&#39;s ripe, fleshy, complex and layered, highlighting ripe currant, wild berry and blueberry, with touches of cedar and cigar box. The flavors gain traction on the finish. Drink now through 2022. &quot;&nbsp;<strong>Wine Spectator - September 2010<br />95 Points</strong></p>
