Robert Mondavi Private Selection Vint Bourbon-Barrel Aged Cabernet Sauvignon California 2021 750mL

Description

What does Vint mean? Vint simply means “to produce wine”
In the tradition of Robert Mondavi’s pioneering wine-making, we’re refreshing our brand to reflect today’s modern style. What is currently “Robert Mondavi Private Selection” will now be “Robert Mondavi Vint”.

Made with the same timeless craft, with a refreshed modern sensibility.These grapes were sourced from vineyards where warm days and cool nights provide ideal ripening conditions for grapes to fully ripen and develop varietal flavour. The 2022 vintage was a relatively cool growing season through spring and summer. We quickly started our harvest the first week of September following a record-setting heatwave throughout California. Following the heatwave, we picked the grapes during the consistent moderate-to-cool temperatures. They had ripened fully and maintained their natural acidity. The result is deep, concentrated Cabernet Sauvignon
flavours.
Deep ruby in colour, this Cabernet Sauvignon opens with rich,
concentrated aromas of ripe dark cherry, blackberry, cocoa, and sweet spices. Soft, chewy tannins lead to a long, lush finish. Aging select lots in bourbon whiskey barrels enhances the finish of smoke, sweet spice, and cocoa when added to the final blend. A superb accompaniment to bourbon-glazed grilled meats, charcuterie boards, hearty pasta dishes, and strong cheeses.
