This outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon blend is sourced from the rocky, volcanic soils of Michael Mondavi’s Animo Vineyard on Atlas Peak. In 2010, the wine instantly bursts open with nuances of ripe cassis, blackberries, graphite, herbs, spices and chocolate to name just a few. The full body is backed by a gorgeous plush texture, showing excellent concentration and depth all the way through the finish. Although this is nothing short of delicious today, and will be hard to resist, I would love to see it again after it has been in bottle for another handful of years.
