Robert Mondavi puts a unique twist on this Private Selection Cabernet Sauvignon with the aging in Bourbon barrels. The nose is fresh. There are unmistakable sweet notes of bourbon on the nose and palate. The wine is silky, smooth on the palate and has a tension and texture that makes for a very pleasant mouth feel and finish. Very fine tannins. Try this with BBQ ribs. Tasted April 2019

A new twist on approachable, crowd-pleasing California Cabs. Aromas and flavours are ripe and juicy with berry-fruit-forward notes and complementary hints of sweet baking spice and cocoa. Robert Mondavi's Private Selection wines are made from vines hailing from California's Central Coast region. Typically, a cooler growing region but enough sunshine to yield ripe juicy grapes. The innovative touch of bourbon barrel finishing adds texture and body to the ripe fruit-forward notes. Enjoy this medium-bodied red with lamb harissa stew.

This limited release Private Selection label Cabernet Sauvignon from iconic Californian winery, Robert Mondavi, is one you don't want to miss, especially if you're a big fan of California Cab and Kentucky Bourbon! Robert Mondavi winery crafted this 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon from grapes grown in Southern Monterey County and do they ever burst with notes of spicy dark berry compote, dark cherry, black currant, clove and sweet vanilla, each in great concentration. A portion of the wine spent an additional three months in new and used Kentucky Bourbon barrels which provides additional texture and flavour dimensions to what would have been an already very flavorful wine. A great wine to enjoy with rich autumn and winter meals, such as pasta dishes, stews, or classic BBQ fare. Available at LCBO Nov 12, 2017. Enjoy 2017-2021. Tasted October 2017. 90 points.
