The 1997 Fume Blanc To-Kalon Estate I Block is produced from the oldest Sauvignon Blanc vines of the estate vineyard. It offers a subtle, honeyed, citrusy nose, followed by rich, medium-bodied, elegant, exceptionally long, and remarkably concentrated flavors. The overall impression remains one of delicacy and finesse. It was bottled without filtration and should drink well for 4-5 years. I think it is safe to say that no white wine at Robert Mondavi goes through 100% malolactic fermentation given winemaker Tim Mondavi's belief in trying to produce wines with flavor, vibrancy, and as he says, "nerve."
