Tasting - Mondavi Cabernet Sauvingion

 


This is the 2021 Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon. It was $12 and is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Dunnigan Hills AVA in California, USA. The tasting notes of this wine say it is "rich with cherry and blackberry flavors that are perfectly balanced with a hint of oak and a long fruit finish." Wine folly claims an average cab sav will have black cherry and black currant notes, with a full body, medium-high tannins, and medium acidity. From my tasting, I found it to have a deep purply red color with a fruit forward scent. Upon tasting, the blackberry and cherry notes came through strongly with an oaky, woody aftertaste. It had a full body that was pleasantly tannic but balanced, with a slight acidity. Overall, a very pleasant wine.
