What it tastes like
Ripe pineapple and peach with a creamy middle, then vanilla, caramel, baking spice, and toasted oak.
You’ll like this if…
Choose this if you like bold, buttery, oak-driven California Chardonnay or bourbon-barrel red wines and want a white in that same rich style.
Why buy it
It gives Chardonnay a distinctive bourbon-barrel accent without moving into dessert-wine sweetness.
Best for
Grilled seafood, shrimp scampi, creamy chicken or pasta, and casual dinners where a round, vanilla-oak white wine fits the meal.
Style
Fuller-bodied, creamy, dry-to-off-dry impression, with pronounced oak and bourbon-barrel notes.
Drinks like
Buttery California Chardonnay, bourbon-barrel-aged white wine, richer Monterey/Central Coast Chardonnay.
Experience level
Easy for newer wine drinkers, especially fans of fuller-bodied whites; more classic Chardonnay drinkers should expect a very oak-forward style.
Flavor notes
Pairs well with
grilled halibut · shrimp scampi · bacon-wrapped dates · roasted pork tenderloin · garden salad with gorgonzola and toasted pecans

About the winery · Robert Mondavi Private Selection ›
Robert Mondavi Private Selection was founded in 1994 by Robert Mondavi to highlight the flavors of California coastal vineyards. The current winery site describes the line as approachable California wine made to be shared, with fruit sourced from prime vineyards along California's Central Coast and Lodi. The brand's current legacy page names Glen Caughell as winemaker. The Bourbon Barrel-Aged Chardonnay appears to be a legacy/limited-release spirits barrel-aged wine, since the current spirits barrel-aged lineup shown by the winery includes Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Red Blend but not Chardonnay.
