If you still have it drink it. Hidden find in my cellar what I thought was 2016 was 2013. Opened it up and letting it breathe didn’t get to it, removed the oxygen and capped it. Late the next night remembered and quaffed the entire bottle while listening to the Moody Blues Royal Albert Hall concert. I highly recommend both, and together they were great! Cant go wrong with a Mondavi at the steering wheel!

2013 vintage

Still a really fantastic fruity and rich experience with only few tannins left which makes it smooth and complete. Many flavors and full of dark berries that dresses this harmonized top American Carbernet.

Yuck

2013 vintage

Nice easy drinking cab with good balance. Drink now; I don’t think it will improve.

2013 vintage

I would buy again.

Dry. Low+ acidity. Med- dusty tannin. Med body. Med finish. 14.5% abv. Deep ruby red, purplish hues. Med tears. Medium intensity aromas of black currant, black cherry, oak, vanilla, black pepper, hint of smoke. Palate is medium bodied with dusty tannins and flavours of dark fruits, hints of spice and dark chocolate. Bit low on the acidity makes it seem a bit too fruity. Good lengthed finish. Nice nose but not much depth on the palate. Touch on the fruity …

2013 vintage

A nice cab for easy drinking. Not a lot of depth, but nice taste of black cherry and currant.

2013 vintage

Started off a little funky but finished nicely.

2013 vintage

Dark fruit, currant, and a little minerality. Medium tannins. A little sweeter than most Cabs that I drink. There was a lot of sediment in this bottle

2013 vintage

3rd bottle. Same notes.

2013 vintage

Hos Max.

2013 vintage

Candy. Fermented cherry candy. Hints of watermelon on the back end palate. This wine, aged 17 months in French oak and posting 14.5%, is a Dream table wine. The French oak gives this vintage a body only Megan Fox (is that her real last name btw, if so, fitting) wouldn't be jealous of. I love all MichaelDavid wines, but this is my favorite if combined w value. For $20, some places less, I doubt you'll do much better than the …

Meget behagelig og let drikkelig cabernet. God værdi til pengene

2013 vintage

Nice and smooth full-bodied very easy to drink I love Michael David wines but this one is not as good as their Earthquake Zin or Sixth Sense sirah

2013 vintage

Yummy quaffer

2013 vintage

Round and soft wine, the cab is well dressed, and not with dominat "fake" oak

2013 vintage

I brought it to a wine tasting party. The label was the coolest part of the wine. It was not the "show stopper" of the night. It was smooth but not over the top good. I say that it is good to try once.

2013 vintage

Decanted for 30 min. Heavy blackberry and a slight bitterness. Not all that good/not worth the money.

2013 vintage

Buy again!

2013 vintage

Prominent taste of blackberries. Nice finish and very fruity.

2013 vintage

Color: dark pitch with slight deep purple tinge. Very little translucency. Nose: slate minerality, cracked pepper, slight cocoa bean. Flavor: dark fruit, bark, dark chocolate, and some minerality on the forward. Notable tannin structure and a bit of heat by the middle. The finish is smooth with the heat following through, a bit chalky, and the linger is a few minutes. The tannins really sit on the tongue. Medium to full bodied. Upon opening, hot on the tongue and a …

2013 vintage

This wine is dark with currants and oak on the nose. Medium bodied, a bit astringent at first. Second day a bit vegetal on the nose, finish is a little hot.

2013 vintage

Not special. Tried this 2013 Lodi Cab by Michael David (makers of 7 Deadly Zins, which is consistently pretty good) after having the Earthquake 2013 the night before. While this has a nice nose, that's the best part. This is much thinner and not nearly as expressive as the higher priced Earthquake. Not awful, but nothing worth seeking out. NOTE: this did open up showing nice fruit after some air, which gave it a nice finish.

2013 vintage

Bold, smooth, try at home

2013 vintage

Easy drinking. Bold fruit, smooth mouthfeel, and great with food

2013 vintage

After decanting and letting sit briefly it was drinkable. But not all that good.

2013 vintage

A good Cabernet, but I'm not sure it's a $20 Cab. Very jammy and fruit forward like all Michael and David wines. Smoother than 7 Deadly Zins.

2009 vintage

Soft without alot of structure. Red fruit, strawberry and a bit of cinnamon at the end. Fresh and fun table wine, doubt will show age quality.

2009 vintage

Black cherry, baking spice, Provencal herb and strawberry and raspberry fruit on the nose. Delicate, like Pinot Noir fruit. Great flavor laced with subtle tannins. Nice cedar and nutmeg influence on the red berry fruit. Really nicely balanced.

2009 vintage

Jane served to her book club. They all liked it a lot.

2009 vintage

This bottle was rather harsh. Not sure if it needs more time in the cellar or if it's just not to our tastes.

2009 vintage

No finish, hot, 16% alc., works at $19.99.

2009 vintage

Blackberry and boysenberry aromas intermingle with earth and medicinal notes. Cherry cordial and mocha on the nose as well. On the palate, a nice mix of sweet fruit and acidity. Cherry, dark berries, chocolate and wood all sing. Straight forward wine. The finish lingers with somewhat rustic tannins on the gums and sweet fruit filling on the back of the palate.
