Constellation opens transformed Robert Mondavi estate in Oakville. Constellation Brands is reopening Robert Mondavi Winery's estate in Oakville, Napa Valley after a multi-year, multimillion-dollar modernization. Concurrent with the winery's 60th anniversary, the revamp includes a new hospitality wing, indoor-outdoor tasting experiences, upgraded culinary offerings, and modernized winemaking facilities. Constellation says the extensive work done on the site represents "the most significant transformation of the property since its founding in 1966." It will be commemorated with a limited-edition 60th anniversary Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon ($125), which will be offered at the winery and through select U.S. wholesale and retail partners. "This transformation reflects a renewal of Robert Mondavi's original vision," said Peggy Hemphill, brand marketing director for Robert Mondavi Winery, which had U.S. volume of 34,000 cases last year, according to Impact Databank. Among the new features at the site is a To Kalon Collective offering tastings of wines from the To Kalon Vineyard, including under the Robert Mondavi Winery, To Kalon Vineyard Company, Schrader Cellars, and Double Diamond labels, intended to provide "a comprehensive view of the vineyard's range and expression."
