Robert Mondavi Private Collection 2010, Cabernet Sauvignon

13.5 % alcohol
17.95 at LCBO

Woody and fruity aroma.
Super smooth, immediate hints of vanilla.  Mild spiciness. Very well balanced.
From label: "flavors of blackberry and plum, rounded out with a smooth oak finish."
I do get a berry-like quality, not sure about plum though. The oak is noticeable but not overwhelming.
Probably best on its own or with milder flavoured food. Maybe a nutty cheese.
4.7/5.
