“Michael Mondavi’s M Cabernet sits squarely in the pocket of the 2022 vintage—a warmer year—showing soft, plush tannins and a decidedly fruit-forward style that is impressively polished. Suave, velvety textures carry loads of ripe mulberry fruit and sweet Asian spice, building to a crescendo on the lengthy finish with building tannins. Full-bodied and full-flavored, this is an immediately enjoyable Cabernet best enjoyed now and over the next three to four years.”
