Robert Mondavi Winery
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Surprisingly good for something that started as an $18 Cabernet. Dried red cherries, black plum, graphite and pencil shavings, dried mushrooms, and dusty leather. This still has enough acids and tannins to enjoy it with a ribeye, but I don't think anyone should wait too much longer to drink it. It's very subtle and starting to fade away.
