Wine Description:
The Robert Mondavi Private Selection Rye Barrel Aged Red Wine Blend is an innovative fusion, uniquely matured in rye barrels. This red table wine presents an intricate tapestry of rich, dark fruit flavors, including plum, black cherry, and blackberry.

This infusion imparts subtle notes of toasted oak and rye spice, resulting in a velvety, indulgent finish. Crafted from grapes sourced in Southern Monterey County's cool-climate Central Coast vineyards, this wine benefits from a slow ripening process influenced by the nearby Pacific Ocean. Enjoy a glass of this Central Coast wine with your preferred comfort dishes or a charcuterie board.
