Oberon Cabernet, the Mondavi Name Without the Mondavi Price
Oberon Napa Cabernet Sauvignon is the insider value gift. It is a smooth, fruit forward Napa Cabernet from the Michael Mondavi family. It carries one of the most famous names in American wine at an everyday price. It is the gift for the recipient who knows the Mondavi story and the host you want to impress. It also suits the newer wine drinker stepping up into Napa Cabernet.
Oberon is made by the Michael Mondavi family, and that pedigree is the whole point. Michael Mondavi is the son of Robert Mondavi. Robert Mondavi did more than anyone to put Napa on the world stage. Oberon is where the family makes an approachable, well made Napa Cabernet. You can give and open it any night of the week, without the price tag the family name usually commands.
What makes it a smart gift:
- Made by the Michael Mondavi family, one of the great names in Napa.
- A smooth, fruit forward Cabernet led Napa blend.
- Aged in French oak for polish and balance.
- A famous family pedigree at an everyday, giftable price.
- Approachable and ready to drink, no cellaring required.
In the glass it is generous and easygoing, with black cherry, blackberry and cassis. It also has dark chocolate and cocoa, a little baking spice and a soft, medium to full body. It is polished enough to feel like a real gift and easy enough to please almost anyone. That is exactly what you want from a bottle in this range.
Serve it with a steak, a burger or a hard cheese, and it will punch above its price every time. That is the whole reason it makes such a confident, understated gift. It is a natural for a host gift, a thank you, or a corporate gift. It also suits the wine lover who appreciates a savvy pick. Engrave the front of the bottle and drop in a personal note at checkout.
