A lot of people make Rosé. But not a lot of people with the last name Mondavi make Rosé using Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from Carneros in Napa Valley.
In what could be considered the ultimate Mother’s Day wine, Robert Mondavi, Jr. started making a couple of cases of Rosé every year for his mother, Isabel. Then, his mom asked for some Chardonnay and then some Pinot Noir…
Fast forward a few years and now Isabel has her own line of Mondavi wines: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Rosé from one of the best wine sub-regions in the world. The wine is delicious. Aromatically inviting with notes of jasmine, and ripe melon with tropical, crisp notes of white peach, apple and honeysuckle.

In the excellent 2016 vintage in Napa, winemaker Kian Tavakoli (Opus One, Clos du Val) had little work to do. With ideal weather conditions throughout harvest, clusters came in dark and juicy from both the Coombsville and Rutherford Vineyards where this delicious Napa Valley Cab was crafted from. Deep ruby to the rim with excellent concentration, notes of Bing cherries, raspberry pie and hints of vanilla. On the palate, big wonderfully jammy fruit with young but impressive tannins and great length. The finish leaves notes of black cherry, and baked blueberry pie. This is a steal for the price.
If you’re looking for one of my most sincere recommendations of the year, heed this: this is the Rose to have of all the ones I’ve tried so far. The newly released 2021 Effet Papillon Rose is off the charts. Made 100% from Grenache (as many of the best Southern French Roses are, this is salmon in color. It boasts aromas of bright red and stone fruits, orange rinds and a hint of lemon zest. It’s incredibly smooth and dry, making it a great food wine– but this Rose is serious with depth and complexity, making it worthy of enjoying on its own.
Jenny Wagner, the youngest daughter of Chuck Wagner (Caymus) took over the reins in 2011 and absolutely ran with it, making Emmolo a name of its own. In the enormous and beloved 2018 vintage in Napa Jenny was able to deliver a stunning ode to the Right Bank with a super powerful, dark-fruited Merlot. But even though it’s early for this new release, I’m thinking she might’ve outdone herself with the 2019. It’s just so smooth and well-balanced with intricate flavors of black cherries, blueberries, mocha and and violet. It’s still early, I think I’d wait a year or two, but it’s hard to resist this wine now as it’s so youthful and energetic.

The 2019 Sinegal Cabernet Sauvignon is a stud. Even at $90/bottle it offers one of the absolute best values of any varietal in any wine region in the world made in 2019. It’s flawless. Scored higher or the same as all-time greats Colgin, Bryant Family, Ovid, Abreu and Bond in the vintage– and available at just a fraction the price of those. This is a collector’s item you simply cannot pass up, it’s got everything you’re looking for in a Napa Valley Cab.
