I really liked it. Smooth easy to drink. Can taste the subtleties of the bourbon barrels. 16% alc/vol without harsh alcohol burn. 2016 vintage. — 6 years ago

Balanced but fruit is front and center through to the finish with a soft velvety tongue. The bourbon barrels come through with a deliciously harmonious, and unique surprise. — 6 years ago

Wedged in between the monumental 2005 and 2007 this wine is more delicate but again a true Rayas. Perfect balance, strong kirsch tones and this endless perfume which comes with a sexy Rayas. Reynaud and Bonneau two opposite wines, both great, for me forget all the rest in red chateauneuf. What a joy and privilege to be allowed to drink this. — 7 years ago

Full mouthfeel, can taste the oak from the barrels it is aged in. Initially too many tannins and overwhelming, but once opens up it is a nice wine. — 8 years ago

Oh heck. I wish I had more. I don't know Aussie wine but don't think that would make a big diff in how to interpret this oner. It is an individual and a nice one at that.
It is smooth and merlot Berry then POW there are your Gewurtztraminer spices and whoa. Despite my hatred of the color of yellow I can dig it. Yowza. — 9 years ago

Got this as a Christmas gift and I couldn't be happier. Very smooth - seemed a little thicker in consistency to other whiskey. — 11 years ago

Monastrell aged in Pappy van Winkle barrels. Plenty of oak, with vanilla and caramel with a touch of bourbon corn sweetness. Cherry and dark fruit. Full body, supple tannins, medium minus acidity, medium finish. Delicious! — 11 years ago

Drinking wonderfully at 12 years of age with a nice mix of fruit and tobacco notes. Solid wine for the price. — 9 years ago

Dark inky color with a purplish rim.

Oaky nose with plums, blackberries, wood, vanilla, vanilla, vanilla (did I say vanilla?), earth, spices and black pepper.

Full bodied, smooth and bold with nice legs.

Fruity on the palate with blackberries, figs, cherries, plums, earth, oak, vanilla, dirt and peppercorn.

Nice finish with big tanning and black pepper.

Awesome wine with a great mouth feel, that can be enjoyed by itself. I paired it with Parmesan cheese, crackers and great company. Drinkable now, but will be even better in 3 to 5 years.

A blend of 60% Monastrell, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Syrah. Each was fermented individually, and then aged for 18 months separately, in new French and American oak barrels. After blending, it sat for over a month in steel tanks before bottling.

15.5% (Wow!) Alcohol by volume. — 10 years ago

Luving Mondavi’s new line of barrel aged wines. A beautiful twist on the same old varietal wines. This merlot is my favorite. I highly recommend the bourbon barrel aged Chardonnay too. — 6 years ago

Drank with my buddies Geoff and Danny. It's amazing. Here is the thing when drinking next to a 70 R Mondavi CS you really see the Bordeaux wooly aromatic thing. Napa is so clean and offering of florals and fruits, yet the Bordeaux had the forest floor and wooly thing. Both awesome but night and day. — 11 years ago
