2004 Robert Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon Private Selection

Every once in a great while you run across a great wine that you note to yourself to always buy. You may want it for parties, dinners or dates. But you know you’ll want to remember it. Well for the money this has to be one of the best wines I’ve gotten. I think I paid $7 for it a couple months ago at Trader Joes. I’ve had Mondavis Coastal before but this is MUCH better. With a nice smooth taste and a Cab Taste that taste expensive, but isn’t. Taste wise it’s an atypical Cabernet, but with a smooth taste that really works well for casual drinking. I didn’t have this with any dinner, so I can’t attest at the time how it blends with certain foods, but it works.
Again I had Karen have a glass (didn’t share too much, was too good) and all I got was “This is really GOOD.” So if you like cabs, and want a good wine to keep around for dinners and parties. Then this is a good wine for you. Its not expensive and can afford to be able to get multiple bottles of it.
