2010 Michael Mondavi Family Cabernet Sauvignon Animo Napa Valley
“Food-loving with great refreshment…”
“Food-loving with great refreshment…”
“Muscular but with fine lines and filigree…”
“Earthy but perfumed, with black fruits and woodsy forest spice…”
“Black cherries, juniper berries, and finely ribbed tannins…”
“A mélange of super-ripe berries steeped with green melon and new-mown hay.”
“Multi-dimensional, active, animated…”
“demure in the way of a young person who has been trained to behave admirably in mixed company…”
“Fruit skews black cherry, smoked blueberry, and blackberries, and the fragrant top notes are woodsy…”
“An elemental yet supremely youthful wine…”
“elegant, lustrous, sleek…”
