Wine Review: This opaque and very dark purple colored Cabernet opens with a mild black cherry bouquet with a hint of black licorice and blueberry. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, balanced, and savory. The flavor profile is black cherry with notes of menthol, black licorice, and a hint of oak. The finish is quite dry and its building sturdy tannins are very long. Decant this wine and serve it with a well marbled ribeye. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Since 1944 our Peter Mondavi Family flagship wine, Vintage Selection Cabernet Sauvignon, has been crafted only when the vintage is optimum. Dark ruby in color, with a wonderful nose of cassis, blackberry and licorice, this classy and opulent Cabernet Sauvignon shows supple tannins, palate richness and length. Enjoy final accent notes of espresso, vanilla and chocolate.
