full and intense flavors that carry sleek muscle and real punch and power

Mondavi, Opus One other_regions full and intense flavors thatSometimes a little overlooked, this is a vintage that falls closer to 2012 than 2013 in profile, at least on this showing it has velvety tannins that pack a punch, and the concentration is clear, with well structured confident tannins and a deep swirl of black pepper. 2% Malbec, 7% Petit Verdot completes the blend. 20 days skin contact. Earliest bud break in history, mild and dry seasons, harvest from September 5 to October 7.
