Tasting - CK Mondavi

Name: CK Mondavi
Varietal: Red Blend
Region: California
Country: United States
Year: 2015
Price: $9.95

Online Review: The wine label describes this wine as "Our winemaker's rich, red wine blend is full-bodied with juicy flavors of boysenberry and plum. It is a balanced, luscious blend that finishes smooth and soft making it a perfect accompaniment to any table. Out family winery has hand-crafted fine wines for four generations. We harvest grapes at their peak of ripeness from our 1850 acres and prime California vineyards creating wines to be enjoyed every day- whatever the occasion".

My Review: This was surprisingly one of my favorite wines of the day. I normally don't tend to like red wines, and this one was very rich, but very good. It had very strong aromas of plums and berries. It tasted very ripe and jammy, but still had a hint of sweetness to it that I would not expect from a red wine. It was a heavier wine, but the fruit flavors were prominent and pleasant. I would drink this wine again.
