I don't buy a lot of Napa cabs, but OMG this is nowhere near ready to drink yet. I have a case and I probably won't touch another one for 5 years at a minimum.

85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot, 4% Malbec, 3% Merlot; 100% new French Oak; outside of Cab Rsv, one of the best Mondavi wine of 2015 vintage for my tastes; wonderful nose, but shut down as expected; needs many years in the cellar, but great potential; if drinking now, 2+ hour decant critical

still terrific and excellent structure, but in a bit of a dumb phase… if drink now, needs LONG decant… wait a few more years before opening this one

Layered and jammy. Great body and a rich color. Good sediment so would recommend decanting briefly.
