2018 M by Michael Mondavi Proprietary Red Napa Valley
Aromas of fresh French plum with notes of roasted hazelnut are at the core of the bouquet. On the palate, a medium body and soft textures mingle with delicate and refined flavors of dark red fruits and orchard blossoms to offer a seamless finish to this elegant and opulent wine.

I was blown away by the 2018 M by Michael Mondavi, an incredible wine based on 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc, 16% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot. Deep, full-bodied, and opulent, yet with perfect balance and a seamless, layered mouthfeel, it has beautiful darker fruits, notes of leafy herbs and chocolate, perfectly integrated oak, and silky tannins. This majestic, flat-out awesome wine will evolve for 20+ years.

Loads of blackberries and blackcurrants with graphite. Some orange peel and floral essence, too. Full body, dusty and pretty tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Juicy center palate. Flavorful, yet dialed-in at the end. Slightly austere, focused finish.
