The Mondavi family name and spirit have been intertwined with Napa Valley for four generations. M by Michael Mondavi Family expresses the family’s deep experience with Napa’s vineyards and varieties through a proprietary red blend that showcases the best fruit from top vineyard blocks each vintage.

The beginning of the 2019 growing season was defined by copious rainfall and late soil moisture. The long, warm summer saw very few extreme heat events, with foggy mornings setting the stage for vibrant and expressive wines. The long, relatively mild finish to the season, not without its moments of unpredictability, helped to preserve freshness and finesse in the fruit with abundant hang time teasing out great color, structure and soft tannins. All in all, exceptional fruit with bright acidity and ample texture promises an amazing vintage. Harvest took place October 17th-25th.

The 2019 M by Michael Mondavi Family is a Cabernet Sauvignon focused red wine blend from Napa Valley, California. The wine expresses the essence of the vintage and is a wine of both generosity and elegance. Its deep, iridescent ruby color sets the stage for a complex bouquet of rose, cherry blossom, violets, and currant leaf, enhanced by notes of black cherry, roasted chestnuts, vanilla, and marzipan, which harmonize with toasty oak notes and, well-integrated tannins. The long, satisfying finish lingers with a subtle hint of tobacco.
