Robert Mondavi

Tw you, IMHO, are a little skewed regarding Mondavi. Along with other giants like B.V and Gallo these fine producers make not only mass production juice but with their tremendous land holdings have some of the best vineyards in Calif. Year after year it's hard to find better wine than Mondavi Reserve or Napa bottlings, B.V Reserve or Tapestry, (along with the excellent Rutherford), or the single vineyard bottlings of Gallo (Barilli Creek, Frei, Stephani, or Sonoma). These superb producers don't have the cachet of the numerous boutique wineries that pop up out of the wood-work yearly but all consistantly make loads of killer juice. It's not in Laubes, Parkers, or any of the orher experts to heap kudos on these wineries. They need to keep discovering the newest super-producer to show their knowledge. WW
