Robert G. Mondavi started the flagship Robert Mondavi Winery in 1966 with a passion for excellence.  His vision was to create wines in California that belong in the company of the great wines of the world.  Today, the Robert Mondavi family continues to pursue this goal around the world with the same zeal and innovative spirit.

The Robert Mondavi Winery is moving forward while retaining the best of the past, from the leading edge of high technology with NASA to closely-spaced vineyards that allow the grapes to find their natural balance.  Led by an inherent respect for nature, the family has learned that great wines begin in the vineyard.

WINEMAKER’S COMMENTS: Robert Mondavi Napa Valley Fumé Blanc displays bright citrus, pineapple, lemon grass, floral and mineral notes that enliven the aromas and cascade across the palate.  Barrel fermentation and gentle stirring during aging in French Oak barrels enhanced the elegant, spicy finish.
