Country: USA
Region: Napa Valley
Grape Varietal: Merlot
Tasting Note: The Robert Mondavi 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 the coastal vineyards imparts the wine with rich aromas of molasses, maple, and black plum, and jammy, and 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. This is a richly flavoured, full bodied Merlot that really gets the blood pumping. Ready for immediate enjoyment or will cellar well for many years to come.
