Michael Mondavi Family Emblem Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 Review
This is a fun Cali Cab. It’s still pretty young, and a bit drying around the edges, but not for long. This is not really for aging, cuz the fruit is tart and ready to share. It’s tasty and structured with good balance, making it a great gift for a gracious host.
