In 1966, Robert Mondavi founded his winery with an ambitious goal: to create wines that would rank among the absolute best in the world. And this Cabernet Sauvignon is a wonderful example. The wine is aged in unique barrels, giving it a unique character. Plenty of dark fruit on the aroma and warm, spicy notes on the palate. A fantastic wine from California!
Special wood aging for Bourbon Barrel Aged Cabernet Sauvignon
The winemaking process for Robert Mondavi Private Selection Bourbon Barrel Aged Cabernet Sauvignon begins with the selection of ripe Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, which form the basis for this powerful California wine. Once harvested, the grapes are taken directly to the winery. Here, they are carefully sorted and gently pressed to release their juices. The next step is fermentation, which takes place in small wooden barrels at controlled temperatures. This allows the wine to develop its characteristic aromas and flavors while retaining its natural freshness and elegance. After fermentation, the wine is aged in oak barrels. This is where the unique twist of the Private Selection Cabernet Sauvignon Bourbon Barrel Aged takes place. The wine is transferred to barrels previously used for bourbon aging, bringing subtle and refined bourbon notes to the wine.
The aroma and taste of Bourbon Barrel Aged Cabernet Sauvignon

As soon as the cork is removed, we immediately smell notes of black currants, toast, vanilla, and buttercream. Our senses are fully awakened, and we take a large glass and pour this dark red wine. The almost black juice is a true sensation in your glass, but it doesn't stop there. On the nose, we noted notes of black fruit, plums, warm spices, and a touch of butterscotch.
The palate is equally stunning, caressing the palate with nuances of black fruit and notes of the Bourbon barrel, such as toast, caramel, and a touch of butterscotch. On the back of the tongue, this Bourbon Barrel Aged Cabernet Sauvignon offers hints of light spice and a touch of cedar, completing the whole experience. The finish is smooth with plenty of power, and returning flavor notes. What a feast this is!
