The 2017 Robert Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon To Kalon Reserve is a distinguished red wine from the renowned Napa Valley region in California. This vintage is crafted predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon (95%), with small contributions from Petit Verdot (4%) and Cabernet Franc, sourced from the esteemed To Kalon Vineyard.

James Suckling awarded this wine an impressive score of 97, describing it as possessing "wonderful aromas of fresh herbs, such as sage and mint," and noting its "fantastic tension and focus." He draws a remarkable comparison to the 1974 vintage and praises its "cool and sleek" nature, suggesting it is "really exceptional" and "gorgeous."

Jeb Dunnuck, who scored the wine 93, highlights its "deep purple hue" and "medium to full-bodied aromas and flavors of crème de cassis, lead pencil shavings, violets, and Asian spice." He commends its "ripe, polished tannins, outstanding balance, and a great finish," recommending a few years of cellaring before enjoying it over two decades.

Antonio Galloni of Vinous also awarded the wine 93 points, noting its "rich, enticing and super-expressive" character. He appreciates its "bright floral and spice overtones" and describes it as "a classy, polished and nuanced wine with great depth and tons of personality."

Wine Enthusiast, another reviewer giving it 93 points, marks it as a "Cellar Selection" and emphasizes its age-worthiness. The review points to its "hugely concentrated red fruit and bursts of dried herb," and the "tight-grained tannins" that underscore its power, with acidity providing a "hint of brightness."

Overall, the 2017 Robert Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon To Kalon Reserve stands out as an aromatic, structured, and age-worthy wine, boasting high praise and excellent reviews across the board.
