pleasantly surprised based on other reviews . Had with with some cheeses after dinner and it worked very well. dark, smooth, very well balanced with soft tannins. Do not know what day 2 will bring but so far so so good....

Here are my impression after opening: short finish, small bouquet, thin in the mouth, fruity, simple, some mild tannins that mellows quickly with breathing, a little bit of spice.

Really nothing good about this bottle. Thin, overly fruity, not complex. HUGE difference between the regular Mondavi label and the Private Selection -- Private Selection is one to avod.

High toned black raspberry, accented with green pepper, in the aromas. Good acidity on the palate, with green pepper and plum flavors. Peppery finish. Doesn't hang together particularly well, and that high-toned note in the aromas is hard to overcome.

Mondavi merlot is a nice wine, especially for a crowd

Had improved greatly second day, allowing fruit and spice to come through.

I drank about 1/3 of the bottle and thought it not very good, however after 3 days in the "fridge" the rest tased pretty good.
