Private Selection Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 - Robert Mondavi

The Private Selection Cabernet Sauvignon from Robert Mondavi from the American wine-growing region California, is a wonderful, concentrated red wine cuvée from Cabernet Sauvignon (90%) and other complementary red grape varieties (10%).

A deep ruby red with violet highlights shimmers in the glass of this wine. Aromatic notes of sweet ripe berries - blackberry and blackcurrant - and juicy black cherries spoil the nose. This is accompanied by filigree nuances of toast, oak wood, fine vanilla and roasted hazelnuts. Very soft and full-bodied, this American red wine convinces the palate. The soft tannins are very well structured and combine with the aromas of the nose and slightly smoky roasted aromas to a wonderful overall picture. The fresh acidity gives this wine its lively character. The finish has a good length.

Vinification of Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon Private Selection

At optimal ripeness, the grapes are harvested in California and immediately taken to Robert Mondavi's wine cellar. There the grapes are first sorted, destemmed and gently ground. The mash is then fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 29 degrees Celsius. After the fermentation process, the wine remains on the mash for 12 days. This wine undergoes complete biological acid degradation. This red wine is aged both in stainless steel tanks and in wooden barrels. 50% of this wine rests for 14 months in French oak barrels.
