M By Michael Mondavi, Napa Valley (California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Feb 10, 2016

By Ed McCarthy

The 2010 M by Michael Mondavi at first jumped out of the glass with its superb Cabernet aromas and flavors of cassis and black fruit, but then closed up.  This wine will be long-lived, I am sure.  The grapes began harvesting quite late for Napa Valley (October 19th).  100 percent Cabernet Sauvignon.  I would not drink the 2010 for several years; it needs time to mature.
