Robert Mondavi Private Selection Cabernet Sauvignon (1.5L, 13%)

A Cabernet Sauvignon from California's Central Coast, sold in a 1.5 litre box. The grapes come from cool-climate vineyards along the Pacific Ocean, where slow ripening adds depth to the wine. It is medium-bodied and spends 10 months in French and American oak barrels, which adds complexity. On the nose there are ripe black cherries, blackberries, red berries and spice. The palate shows ripe Bing cherries and blueberry, with toasty oak and hints of coffee and vanilla, supported by bright acidity.
