Deal of the week: Robert Mondavi Napa Valley Merlot

Robert Mondavi is a legendary winemaker and pioneer known for making wine for all occasions and budgets. From Woodbridge to Opus One. Mondavi  is a household name. Known mostly for Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc, Mondavi wines are true to form and pure of heart. The Merlot is no slacker though and should not be taken lightly. The Napa Valley series wines are quintessential in flavor, structure and style giving true to form wines of top quality for mid range pricing.

The 2011 Napa Valley Merlot showcases the true characteristics of Merlot, with aromas of plum and cherry which follow through to the palate. Subtle and round tannin from start to finish with a medium length finish, bursting flavors of plum, cassis, cherry and cocoa. Enjoy this wine on its own or with your next Osso Bucco dinner. Will age beautifully for the next 5-7 years.
