Producer and Wine Maker

Produced under the Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi label, the Cabernet Sauvignon NV reflects a fruit-forward winemaking philosophy. The team emphasizes ripeness, texture, and simple clarity—letting robust berry flavors shine while maintaining smooth, crowd-pleasing structure and subtle oak nuance. 

Vineyards and Micro Climate

Sourced from warm, sun-drenched California vineyards—likely spanning regions such as Central Valley and surrounding AVAs—the wine benefits from ample ripening conditions. These regions yield concentrated fruit with moderate acidity and a plush, bold character. 

Vinification & Aging Methods

The wine undergoes fermentation in stainless steel followed by aging in oak barrels (both French and American). This method contributes light toasty, vanilla, and caramel notes that complement the ripe fruit without overshadowing it. 

Tasting Notes

Aromas reveal cherries, berries, cedar, brown sugar, and toast. The palate delivers flavors of blackberry, toasted marshmallow, chocolate, graham cracker, as well as a toasty caramel finish. The wine is medium-bodied, rich in fruit, and pleasantly smooth. 

Food & Wine Pairing

Pairs beautifully with a range of comfort foods such as grilled meats, tomato-based pastas, hearty stews, and even seafood dishes. Its balanced structure and approachable profile make it versatile and food-friendly.
