CK Mondavi 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon (California)
- Best Buy
- $8
You’ll recognize the aromas right off the bat: blackberries, cassis, smoke, vanilla, anise and oak. The flavors are of the pop variety, jammy and candied, but they are tasty. The tannins are very soft and silky, and the acidity is low. It all adds up to a very drinkable wine, one-dimensional to be sure, but a good value for the money. Best Buy.

CK Mondavi 2001 Merlot-Cabernet Sauvignon (California)
- Best Buy
- $8
This is a nice drinking wine, ripely fruity, with sturdy but soft tannins. It’s rich enough to accompany grilled meats, and also good by itself.

CK Mondavi 2001 Zinfandel (California)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $7
Good basic Zin drinking, a super-fruity wine in a slightly rough-around-the-edges package. Wild berry flavors have an edge of pruny overripeness, but the wine is dry and not too heady. And what a pretty mouthfeel, soft and velvety.

CK Mondavi 2010 Willow Springs Sauvignon Blanc (California)
- Best Buy
- $7
A solid everyday Sauvignon Blanc, dryish and crisp in acidity, with the citrus, lemongrass, vanilla and white pepper flavors you expect in this variety. A good house white wine for restaurants.

CK Mondavi 2002 Wildcreek Canyon Merlot (California)
- Best Buy
- $10
A good everyday wine, quite dry and balanced and with some ripe blackberry, herb and coffee flavors. The tannins are rich and gripping. Represents a fair value.

CK Mondavi 2010 Willow Springs Moscato (California)
- Best Buy
- $7
Considered as a dessert wine, this Moscato is O.K. It has orange and vanilla pastry flavors, brightened by acidity. Don’t even think about drinking it as a dry table wine, because it's very sweet.

CK Mondavi 2010 Willow Springs Chardonnay (California)
- Best Buy
- $7
If you’re looking for a decent everyday Chardonnay at an inexpensive price, consider this one. It’s dry and creamy in texture, with slightly sweet, oaky tangerine and pineapple flavors.

CK Mondavi 2002 Wildcreek Canyon Merlot-Cabernet Sauvignon (California)
- $10
Rich and vibrant in blackberry and cherry fruit, with a sleek overlay of toasty oak, this dry wine will go well with a wide variety of foods. It’s a good price for a nice everyday wine.
