99 Mondavi Napa Cab et 99 Napa Merlot

[wondersofwine]

Mondavi wines are carried at the Sullivan Steak House in Raleigh and perhaps at other restaurants in the Sullivan chain. The cabernet sauvignon goes nicely with the steaks and doesn't have to be a ten-year old vintage to be enjoyable. I have tried the 1999 Merryvale c.s. in a restaurant, and while I think it will be a fine wine eventually, it was at present too tannic for me to enjoy with the meal.
