Tasting 9 - Robert Mondavi Private Selection



  • Name: Robert Mondavi Private Selection
  • Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
  • Region: Monterey County, California
  • Country: USA
  • Year: 2017
  • Price ? Served at a friend's house.
  • Review (totalwine.com): Layered and complex... leaps from the glass with aromas of blackberry cobbler, graham cracker, brown sugar, milk chocolate, coffee and smoke. Palate of blueberry pie, praline, sweet vanilla custard, caramel and mocha is framed by soft chewy tannins and a hint of toasted oak.
  • Your review: Full and jammy on the nose.  Unique richness in the mouth from the bourbon barrel aging, I guess.
  • Paired with a pasta in a rich, tomato, meat sauce.
