The story behind it
Founded in 1966 by industry pioneer Robert Mondavi in Napa Valley, the winery was established with the vision of creating world-class wines. The Private Selection tier was launched to showcase the classic, fruit-forward characteristics of California's Central Coast vineyards with a modern, experimental twist.
Crafted by the innovative winemakers of Robert Mondavi Private Selection, this wine marries traditional California viticulture with spirits barrel aging. A portion of the blend is aged in select premium rum barrels to impart unique, sweet-spiced complexities.
