Break the Rules: Celebrate the Derby with Robert Mondavi Private Selection Cabernet!
We just wrapped Cinco de Mayo. Mother’s Day is Sunday. How much busier can it get? Add in the fabulous and fun Kentucky Derby on Saturday. Whew! That’s a lot for one weekend. Derby Day is still a day that should be celebrated. Here’s a new spin on what you should be serving as a beverage in place of a mint julep!
Try this instead: Robert Mondavi Private Selection Bourbon Barrel Aged Cabernet Sauvignon
This unique wine was aged in bourbon barrels… and thus qualifies to be your choice of beverage for the Derby because of the kiss of the bourbon barrels!
This special Bourbon barrel aged wine originates in the coastal vineyards of Monterey County, CA, where the region’s dynamic, geologic past brings forth fruit with an unmistakable sense of place. Grapes are picked at the peak of ripeness, after which the wine is aged and blended to deliver exceptional fruit flavors and complexity. Unique to this wine, a portion of the blend is aged for an additional three months, using a combination of new and used Kentucky Bourbon barrels, creating one of the first Bourbon barrel aged wines produced in the United States.
Bourbon barrels are 100% American oak barrels that have been charred to help impart deep toasty flavors and hints of vanilla and brown sugar. Cabernet Sauvignon is particularly suited for Bourbon barrel aging because its intensely rich fruit character isn’t overwhelmed by the flavors of the charred casks. The wine is rich, weighty, and full bodied on the palette, and the 2014 vintage delivers robust flavors of black cherry and blackberry.
Robert Mondavi Private Selection Bourbon Barrel Aged Cabernet Sauvignon has been released in limited-production and is available nationally. Suggested retail price is $13.99 for 750mL.
This is a wine worth buying at an affordable price. Buy a couple of bottles so that you can try it over a few days!
Buy more and give it to friends and family as gifts!
