Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Rather lean and sharp, with an edge of overripe raisins. Fine for everyday occasions and gatherings.

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.

CK Mondavi Merlot-Cabernet Sauvignon - 2002

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Sure is ripe, with its flood of blackberries and cherries, and it’s also dry and rich in tannins. It’s rather sharp, though, in jammy acids. An affordable sipper at a fair price.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
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 Chardonnay - 1999

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Shows some Syrah character in its initial aromas of smoke and boiled beef, but then takes on a grassy, herbal edge that refuses to yield. The medium-weight red berry fruit is overshadowed by rhubarb and herbs.

CK Mondavi Shiraz - 1998

0 out of 0 people thought this note was helpful.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
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 Cabernet Sauvignon - 1998

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
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.

Rather vegetal, and dry and tart in acidity. Finishes with some black currant flavors.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
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.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
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.
