Tommy’s Wine Journal

The 2005 Robert Mondavi Winery Napa Valley Merlot has a distinct aroma profile that consists of black cherry, raspberry, chalk, and a touch of green vegetal notes. The bouquet is really not all that exciting and make me think of inexpensive wine that is not multi-layered or all that interesting. On the palate the wine is slightly thin and shows some black raspberry notes along with a pretty strange cinnamon type spiciness. The structure and alcohol of this wine are slightly disjointed elements as well. Sorry to report that a winery with such great history, monetary backing, and endless vineyard selections would make such a poorly crafted wine.
