Robert Mondavi always loved – and loved to sell – his Muscat Canelli as his one sweet wine, and it pops up here, added to a Malbec and Pinot Noir base blend – a combination of flavors and aromas you are not likely to find elsewhere. The bubbly is very pleasant with flavors of ripe strawberries and citrus as well as lingering, delightful whiffs of herbs (geranium leaf) and Muscat’s enchanting fragrances.
