CK Mondavi 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon
- 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
- 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
- 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 2002 Wildcreek Canyon Merlot
- 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 Sauvignon Blanc
- 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 1999 Chardonnay
- Best Buy
- $8
Looking for an inexpensive Chard with true varietal character and nutty, spicy, vanilla-tinged flavors from oak? Here’s one. It’s strictly no-frills, but it does offer a lot to like, and at a decent price.

CK Mondavi 1999 Merlot
- $9
This is a simple, soft wine with a good deal of charm. It’s well made and easy to drink, with pretty black-cherry flavors that spread over the palate. The only drawback is an herbaceous quality that pervades both the aroma, where it’s green and stalky, and the palate, where it’s positively sharp. But at this price, these are minor quibbles.

CK Mondavi 2003 Chardonnay
- Best Buy
- $6
Will satisfy bargain hunters seeking an inexpensive Chard with some good peach and honeysuckle flavors, and a hit of toasty oak. Finishes clean and brisk.
