2005 Robert Mondavi Fume Blanc


Winery: Robert Mondavi Winery

Wine: Fume Blanc, Napa

Retail: $17.49


Description: "Jasmine-tinged aromas lead to fresh melon and pear flavors enlivened with a hint of orange and complex floral and mineral notes. Beautiful balance of crisp acidity and creamy texture from sur lie aging. "


Ratings:WE- 92 (2004)

W&S- 91 (2002)


Review: 87. Oakey and pear with ambient herb and earth in the nose. Consistent pear and citrus taste. Mineral finish is not the cleanest. Etheral nose is the best part. '04 vintage was significantly better. As far as I can tell the descript is bogus.
