WOODBRIDGE BY ROBERT MONDAVI MERLOT

In 1979, the Robert Mondavi family acquired the Cherokee Wine Association, established by Lodi grape growers as a cooperative for producing wine in the 1930's. Renovated and renamed Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi, the winery has become a leader in the popular premium wine category.

California and Lodi appellation Woodbridge wines are made using many of the gentle handling and natural winegrowing methods employed at the Robert Mondavi Winery in Napa Valley. The grapes are selectively chosen from among California's top growing areas, including the Lodi/Delta region surrounding the winery, and the North and Central Coasts.

WINEMAKER’S COMMENTS: Velvety layers of black cherry, blackberry and dark chocolate character in this wine come from perfectly ripe grapes grown in the Lodi region. Supple tannins frame the opulent fruit flavours and give the wine gentle structure with approachability. Aging in small French and American oak barrels adds a hint of oak spice.
