Quick answers
How does the Merlot Rum Barrel Aged taste?
Fruity and dry, with soft tannins. Rum barrel aging brings nuances of vanilla, caramel, and coconut into the glass, which combine with the fruit of the Merlot.
What does this wine pair best with?
Versatile: with poultry, veal, grilled food, or braised dishes. It also works well with spicier dishes such as goulash, Creole cuisine, or Asian food, as well as with goat cheese.
At what temperature should I serve the wine?
10 to 12 °C are ideal, i.e., slightly chilled and noticeably cooler than room temperature. This keeps the fruit and the roasted aromas from barrel aging in balance.
Is the wine dry or sweet?
Dry. The impression of sweetness from vanilla and coconut comes solely from the aging in rum barrels, not from residual sugar.
Which grape varieties are in the cuvée?
87% Merlot, supplemented by 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot, and 2% Malbec. The grapes come from Monterey County, California.
How long does the bottle keep after opening?
Best consumed within 3 to 4 days. Reseal the bottle and store it upright and cool to preserve aroma and freshness.
The Winery
Robert Mondavi Winery embodies one of the most consequential ideas in modern wine history: that Napa Valley can compete with the world's great wine regions. Since its founding in 1966, the winery in Oakville, California, has worked toward precisely that goal – and proven it.
At its heart lies the legendary To Kalon Vineyard , one of North America's most prestigious vineyards. Here grows the Cabernet Sauvignon that made the estate famous: structured, age-worthy, with the unmistakable profile of Oakville soils.
