Robert Mondavi saw what few others did, that Napa Valley could rival the great wine regions of the world. He believed in wines that reflected their origin, shaped by soil, climate, and the hands that farm the land. He drew inspiration from the Old World. And also introduced innovative winemaking techniques that redefined standards of excellence. His vision helped define American fine wine and elevate Napa Valley to global renown. Today, that legacy continues. Our Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a tribute to his enduring belief in this region’s greatness.

Robert Mondavi was tireless in promoting his vision for Napa Valley. He shared his advances selflessly with neighbors. Helping rally the whole region to produce better wines. He got them using varietal names (like Cabernet Sauvignon) as other world fine wines did. He travelled the world promoting Napa Valley. He encouraged Americans to appreciate food and wine culture. And he brought culture to Napa Valley itself, founding a cultural center, an art school, and even restoring an Opera House.
