Mondavi Private Selection Cabernet Sauvignon Bourbon Barrel 2019 – 750ML

Description

We craft this richly textured Cabernet Sauvignon with California grapes picked at the peak of ripeness in our coastal vineyards. Adding a twist to traditional barrel-aging, select lots of the blend are aged in a mix of new and used bourbon barrels. The new barrels give the wine its deep undertones of toasted oak. The used barrelsselected from a renowned Kentucky distilleryexude notes of vanilla and dried herbs, hinting at the fine bourbon that oncegraced these casks. The result is a bold, flavorful wine, unlike any other Cabernet.

Layered and complex, our Bourbon Barrel-aged Cabernet Sauvignon leaps from the glass with aromas of blackberry cobbler, graham cracker, brown sugar, milk chocolate, coffee and smoke. A palate of blueberry pie, praline, sweet vanilla custard, caramel and mocha is framed by soft, chewy tannins and a hint of toasted oak on the lingering finish.
