Shop Review: "Deep cherry red in color. Aromas of red berry and spice with flavors of cherry, blueberry and hints of vanilla. The wine has the sweet black cherry and dark berry fruit character that distinguishes California's finest Cabernet Sauvignons, and its ripe fruit is supported by velvety tannins and well-integrated oak. This is a wine of excellent depth, richness, and length on the palate." https://bestbuyliquors.com/robert-mondavi-winery-private-selection-cabernet-sauvignon

Personal Review: This was another bottle that I bought from Kroger when I came back from spring break. When I first smelled the wine, it was also very fruity; the aromas that I got right off the bat were a darker type of cherry and blueberry. When I first tasted the wine, it tasted very rich and not that sweet to my surprise again. This was not that bitter, but I definitely tasted the darker cherry and blueberry flavors, even with a very small hint of vanilla. This is a wine that I think I would try again because I did like it, but it was not my favorite thing.
