Napa Valley wine maker who transformed the reputation of American wines by striving to enhance subtleties of flavour
Robert Mondavi, who died on Friday aged 94, played a leading part in the widespread growth in admiration for American wines, especially for the wines of the Napa Valley, California, where in the 1960s he established the Robert Mondavi Winery and did much to improve the wines produced there.
