[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I usually don’t drink Merlot but I was surprised how much I liked this wine. It wasn’t too dry and the overall flavor was good. My husband and I were able to taste the hunt of rum in the wine. I would definitely buy this again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Robert Mondavi Private Selection Rum Barrell-Aged Merlot was delicious. The wine is smooth with a fruity aroma. The rum barrel aging give the wine a unique, slightly sweet taste. Great wine for the price!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Rum Barrel-Aged Merlot is my favorite wine of the bunch! It was very very smooth and sweet. Same with the aroma, sweet from the well balanced plum and blueberry. I will definitly be getting some more, I'll take it to parties or just have on hand at home, probably both! I paired this with some Brie, heated it up and had a Pepper Jelly on top, with crackers. Man I could do that every night if I could, it's all so good together.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This wine goes good with everything and it tastes good when you cook it in meat love how it gives a subtle taste to the meat and it's very smooth and tasty and the flavor is perfect and you definitely can pair it with everything that you choose to have with it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ruby black color. Aromas of raspberry jam thumbprint cookies and pencil shavings with a lightly tannic, crisp, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a smooth, medium-length plum butter and oak finish with woody tannins and light oak flavor. A chewy, oaky Merlot to pair with casual meals..

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I accidentally reviewed Merlot by clicking on Cabernet Sauvignon.... I guess I should have waited the next day instead of right after tasting these wines? Oops. Anyway, as a I said the Merlot had a cherry aroma with a dark red appearance. It is a dry wine so not sweet, but has a smooth finish. I would definitely lean towards buying Robert Mondavi wines going forward. I tried their white wines as well and they were very good.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like drinking this rum age barrel wine. This delicious Merlot paired well with my dessert tray and delectable treats. I really like the rich sweet taste & the amazing aroma. All of my friends and family enjoy this wine because it tastes amazing and it went down smooth.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought a bottle of this during an evening of wine tasting elsewhere. When opened at home I indeed found myself enjoying it more when I was sober! My palate enjoys dense, complex wines with a full mouth feel and a bit toward the jammy side. This fit the bill and I am adding it to my short list of especially enjoyed reds.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Harvest 2020- RM Private Selection Rum Barrel-Aged Merlot. Color intense ruby red, clean, bright, opaque. With no apparent sign of evolution. On the nose, frank, fragrant, with intense aromas of black plum and fig. In addition to vanilla, chocolate and a finish of burnt coconut. In the mouth, dry, full-bodied, medium tannins with a slight roughness, high acidity, good concentration of flavors and long persistence. Needs to be opened in a decanter for about 40 to 60 minutes before drinking. Before that he is very acidic and unbalanced. Prolonged aftertaste and leaving a burnt coconut finish.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I admit that I am not a big Merlot drinker, but the rum barrel-aged Merlot did not suit my palette. The rum flavor was somewhat overpowering which muted the dark fruit flavors. It gives off an aroma of oak and coconut. It might have been better if it had a lower alcohol content.
