Stephen Brook: Very deep red, with slight evolution. There are reticent blackberry aromas on the nose, along with some toasty oak. This is a medium-bodied wine, sleek and fresh, with appealing acidity, but it seems to lack some weight and flesh. Given the Mondavi predilection for elegance over power, this should have more distinction than it seems to on this showing. Moderate length. 15.5
