Robert Mondavi Private Selection Rum Barrel-Aged Merlot 2019

California Robert Mondavi Private Selection Rum Barrel-Aged Merlot blends the traditional craftsmanship of California winemaking with the exotic tradition of dark rum barrel aging for an incredibly bold and unique sensory expression. The cool climate of coastal vineyards imparts the wine with rich aromas of molasses, maple, and black plum, and jammy but well-balanced flavors of plum and blueberry. Select lots are then aged in Rum barrels, delivering complex nuances of toasted coconut, molasses, and rich vanilla when added to the blend. 2017 Rum Barrel-Aged Merlot – GOLD, Denver International Wine Competition 2019
