M By Michael Mondavi, Napa Valley (California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Feb 10, 2016

By Ed McCarthy

Rich, elegant, and velvety, balanced with soft tannins and good acidity.  It is a striking wine, destined to be one of the finest M by Michael Mondavi wines produced to this date.  Too young right now, of course, but it will be great.  98 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 2 percent Petit Verdot.  My second-favorite of the four Ms in the group.
