Tasting- CK Mondavi Red Blend

Review: "Red Blend is their winemaker’s signature cuvee, an expression of five red varieties capturing the best of each vintage. It has the backbone of Cabernet Sauvignon, the finesse of Merlot, the structure of Petit Verdot, the floral essence of Cabernet Franc and the boldness of Malbec. This full-bodied wine offers flavors of black cherries and plums and ends in a soft, balanced finish." From: Vintage Cellar

My review: This wine was fruity on the nose and the palette, definitely picking up hints of cherry and maybe strawberry. It had an earthy, but fairly soft finish. It was fairly easy to drink and I would be able to just sit down and drink a glass. This is my favorite wine I tried this week.

Food Pairing: I did not drink this with food.
