Description
This is a superb set of 2022s from brothers Carlo and Dante Mondavi. Sadly, yields are down a punishing 40-50%, mostly because of frost in May. We had small clusters and tiny berries with thick skins, Carlo Mondavi explained. The 2022 Pinots are intense, dark wines. As always, the Pinots are done with 100% whole clusters. In 2022, the interplay of huge fruit with intense stem character makes for wines that are beguiling but also need cellaring to be at their best. Time in barrel remains around ten months.
JS98This is amazing on the nose with dried strawberries, sandalwood, mahogany and tea leaf. Iron and rust underneath the fruit. Dried flowers, nutmeg and rose petals. Full-bodied yet agile and energetic with layers of fine dusty tannins. Entrancing finish. Give this four or five years in the bottle, but its hard not to drink.
