Robert Mondavi's 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon

At $12.50 a glass, you have an appropriate expectation of greatness, but this bottle clearly delivers a drinkable but not great Napa Cabernet experience.

The nose was film of blackberries and black currants--almost jammy. But upon initial taste, the fruit did not come through. Later, as the bottle opened, the tannins softened and a very drinkable wine came through, but perhaps not a great wine.  It score consistently in the 89-91 range.

You can find this on wine.com for $19.99.
