2016 Robert Mondavi "Private Selection" Cabernet Sauvignon Review
It is nice to sometimes have wine that isn’t an ordeal. Occasionally you gotta just kick your feet up, watch some Judge Judy and drink okay wine.
You all know Robert Mondavi. In some sort of marketing ploy, I imagine, they slapped the term, "Private Selection" on the front of this $10 bottle to make people think this is some rare or exclusive shit. Obviously I went into this skeptical and probably trying to corral my kids in Frozen underwear.
In da nose I got cherry, red twizzlers and surprisingly a bit of oak. The nose was a hell of a lot less sweet than I anticipated. In da mouf I got strawberry and tobacco.
I'll be honest - not bad. It's a damn fine drinker at $10 and even though you'll probably get some sort of brain cancer I'd recommend it as a daily drinker to forget the fact that your mortgage is due.
