Robert Mondavi Winery Napa Red Blend is made from 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Cabernet Franc, 9% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot.
Robert Mondavi’s vision was to elevate Napa to the world stage. In celebration of his achievement, our Napa Tier wines are sourced from distinctive vineyards throughout the Napa Valley and truly emulate a classic Napa Valley style.
Nearly half of this year’s blend is sourced from the deep, well-drained soils of Oakville, which provides gorgeously dark, supple wines with fine tannins. Stags Leap District, Oak Knoll, Yountville, and Rutherford also find their place in the bottle, with the varying mesoclimates and soils of these vineyards integrating seamlessly into a 100% Napa Valley blend.
Review:
"Dominated by 80% Cabernet Sauvignon with smaller percentages of the other Bordeaux red grapes, this wine speaks of heritage and prestige. Broad, silky, and powerful, the graceful liquid is enhanced by dark chocolate, white pepper, black plum, violets, and sweet earth."

Roland Champion Champagne Special Club Grand Cru is made from Chardonnay.
The 'Special Club' designation is one of the most prestigious in Champagne, reserved exclusively for the finest vintages from member growers of the Club Trésors de Champagne. Each Special Club wine undergoes rigorous peer tasting and must meet exceptional quality standards before receiving the coveted Special Club label.
Roland Champion's Grand Cru Special Club comes from the finest Chardonnay parcels in the Côte des Blancs. Generous aromas of sun-ripened green apple, peach, nougat, and white chocolate layered with fresh lemon and grilled citrus. On the palate, rich and creamy with lively, fine-beaded mousse. Bright notes of grapefruit, lime, and toasted nuts lead to a long, round finish accented by toasted brioche, white flowers, and pronounced chalky minerality. Elegant and structured with excellent aging potential.
A collector's Champagne, perfect for special celebrations or paired with fine cuisine such as lobster, truffle dishes, or aged Comté cheese.
