Decanted 2 hours. Very little sediment. Quiet and feminine, this was a great example of a Mondavi Napa cab. Not as fragrant as some, it was solid and delightful. Drink now or hold.

82% Cab S., 9% Cab Franc, 6% Merlot, 3% Petite Verdot. Double decant 2 hours. Some chunky sediment. Tight, dusky nose. Licorice, graphite and dark fruit. Good grip and solid tannins. Not as nuanced as previous vintages, but still excellent value. There is no rush to drink these. Built for the long haul.

Decanted for sediment. Soft, resolved with clean nose and nice flavors. I usually don't let these go so long, but drinking well now.
