[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am not a huge fan of merlot, so my review may not be too helpful. The bottle's look is excellent and screams high class and quality. The taste is full, robust and bold so if you like your wine on the sweet side, this is not for you. It is quite dry and leaves a bit of a cork aftertaste, but it does pair nicely with food. Definitely not a wine to simply sip on with a nice book if you ask me. Overall it was decent, I just prefer other varieties over this one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Robert Mondavi Private Selection Rum Barrel-Aged Merlot has the aroma of toasted coconut! It had an amazing and complex flavor profile. We paired this Merlot with our pasta dinner tonight and it went incredibly well. It was a very dry red wine, with incredible richness. I would definitely have this wine again with our pasta meals!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Robert Mondavi Private Selection Rum Barrel Aged Merlot has a mild yet aromatic flavor. The rum barrel adds the perfect, yet oh so slight rum flavor. Robert Mondavi Private Selection Rum Barrel Aged Merlot is complex yet smooth. Definitely recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Robert Mondavi Private Selection Rum Barrel-Aged Merlot was deep red similar to a fresh cherry. The wine had hints of cherry, black pepper and spicy oak as well as an unidentified fruit. This was a nice wine with a full flavor. We enjoyed this wine with a wide variety of foods at a holiday party.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice easy red wine. Easy to drink quickly. Not expensive but has somewhat of a expensive taste. A good option for taking to a dinner party when you don't know what is being served. Not overly sweet or dry. A good wine to have on hand for everyday use. I would recommend this to others.my favorite of the three barrel aged Mondavi.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I thought this Merlot was pretty good. I was able to taste the difference from the rum barrel aging and thought it really enhanced the flavors of the wine. I think this would be great to enjoy with a great steak!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had a wine tasting party with our neighbors in the backyard. Everyone enjoyed drinking the merlot. The aroma was buttery and acidic. The color was nice and bright. The flavor was smooth and it paired well with crackers, strong cheese, salami and pepperoni. The was my neighbor's favorite wine. They are planning on purchasing it the next time they go to the store.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Robert Mondavi Rum Barrel-Aged Merlot was the least favorite of the three wines. It was still tasty, but it had a stronger liquor smell and taste than the others. It also had more of an aftertaste. We thought it paired very nicely with dark chocolate.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Robert Mondavi Private Selection Rum Barrel Aged Merlot Red Wine is really good. My husband and I shared a bottle with our grilled chicken dinner. The wine is fruity, somewhat sweet, hint of spice mixed with a rum undertone. Both of us really liked it and we bought some more to share with our friends when they come over. Great wine for a great price, definitely recommend!
