Very few low priced Napa Cabs out there. Gave this some air. Dense. Medium to full bodied. Not overly complex but smooth dark berry and currants without the sweetness. Decent finish.

Enjoyed much more than the last bottle. ? if bottle variation or just my mood. Let breathe for about 90 minutes. More plum colored than inky purple. Refreshing fairly ripe blue and purple fruit, relatively complex and integrated. Full-bodied. Nice finish.

Gave it about 90 minutes of air. Slightly acidic nose. Fruit a bit stale with a mid-tongue bite. Slightly harsh finish. Inexpensive but not living up to the reviews.

Let breathe for about an hour. Subtle nose. Pleasant mostly full bodied wine. Integrated fruit but relatively restrained. Medium finish. Solid pleasant wine but nothing earthshaking.

Saturated purple. Big wine. Very sweet impressions on the palate. Some grip at the end. Consumed two glasses and that was enough to wake me up in the middle of the night with a splitting headache. Can't do the Napa cabs anymore. Much more fun to actually be able to drink wine before during and after dinner without feeling like hell the next day. Haven't had Mondavi in years and maybe felt sentimental when I saw this retro label and the good things I heard about the vintage but ultimately this isn't for me or everyone for that matter. I recall having a 97 Mondavi Reserve a few years ago which was superb and incredibly balanced and complex all at 13% alcohol. Miss those days.

Surprisingly bright with great acidity along with the tannins expected of a 2012 Napa Cab. This is a great value and drank like a much more expensive cab.

It was okay....granted though it was up against some Prisoner and Cakebread - so probably not a fair shake......

Agree with previous reviewers. Great QPR @ $20! Superb everyday drinker. Medium finish with loads of fruit, smooth tannins on PNP.
