Obituary: Robert Mondavi

Robert Mondavi, Napa Valley vintner who put California Cabernet and Chardonnay onto wine map, dies at 94. A bold innovator, he put his wines up against French vintages in blind tastings and championed the use of oak barrels and other techniques that have become industry standards.
