Wine Description:
The wine is aged and blended to obtain exceptionalfruit flavors and complexity. A portion of the blend is then selected to age in new bourbon whiskey barrels for an additional three months. These new barrels impart a deep, rich, toasty flavor.

Deep, rich ruby in color, it opens with concentrated aromas of ripe blackberry pie, ripe dark berries, graham crackers, brown sugar, vanilla, milk chocolate,and toasted oak with notes of coffee and smoke. Flavors of blueberry pie, pralines, sweet vanilla cream,brown sugar, caramel and mocha are accented with hints of coffee. Soft tannins and toasty oak round out the wine with a long, lush finish. An excellent companion to grilled ribs, a charcuterie board, hearty pasta dishes and strong cheeses.

  • This Robert Mondavi Private Selection Cabernet Sauvignon Aged in Bourbon Barrels offers a unique, complex flavor profile of dark fruit, spice, and oak, supported by a velvety texture and a long, smooth finish.
