Robert Mondavi Private Selection Merlot Red Wine has intense, ripe flavors complemented by bright acidity. Distinctive aromas of ripe red cherry, Asian plum, and cranberry, along with hints of black olive, tea leaf, baking spice, and sweet oak, make this a truly unique red merlot. Mocha, brown sugar, and sweet oak round out the nose, while this dark red wine's palate brims with ripe dark cherry, Marion berry, and plum flavors. Oak aging lends sweet toast and brown sugar notes to the lingering finish of this merlot wine. This Robert Mondavi red wine is crafted with fruit from California's Central Coast vineyards, where slow ripening in the cool climate by the Pacific Ocean encourages complexity and depth of flavor. Pair this quality Central Coast wine with rotisserie chicken, meat ravioli, or wild salmon and herbed cheese, or enjoy a glass of wine on its own. Store this 750 mL bottle of wine at room temperature, but chill it slightly before serving cool at around 60 degrees for optimal taste. Please enjoy our wines responsibly. © 2024 Robert Mondavi Private Selection, Acampo, CA
