UNDER $30 I feel like a real adult paying more than $15 for a bottle of Robert Mondavi wine.
Where to buy:
Robert Mondavi Winery $30 Buying directly from the winery is always nice, and they are able to ship to most hard to ship to states. The average shipping price is $25.00
Wine.com $53! Wine.com doesn’t have the 2019 in stock, but they do have their 2021 in stock. It is a little more pricey, but it is the same price you would pay for the 2021 at the winery. I like to give you wine.com as an option because they do offer so many other wines if this particular wine isn’t what you would like to try or send. Wine.com also carries Robert Mondavi Private Selection Bourbon Barrels Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 for $16 Check your shipping state for availability & price changes. Shipping costs is about $15.95 for one bottle.
CWSpirits.com under $30 unfortunately Country Wine and Spirits is frequently out of stock on this bottle. But check often because they do a great job at restocking! Use code SipEatRepeat for a 5% discount off any order! CWS.com is a great option if you are looking to ship to a state like MI. Or any other hard to ship to State, their shipping cost is about $16.10 for one bottle.
What I love about the wine
Robert Mondavi Winery has a sense of familiarity, this was a wine I would buy when I didn’t have a lot of money and I would spend about 15 bucks on a bottle of Robert Mondavi Red wine. It was affordable and a brand I could have handy when someone came over. It is a well known brand. I love memories that come back when I think of my early 20’s getting drunk on a very affordable bottle of wine. Shoot this was 20 years ago, before inflation, I bet I paid 10 bucks for the bottle.
Aside from the memories the name brings back to me, I love that paying 40 bucks at the grocery store for a bottle of Robert Mondavi opened my eyes to really the exceptional line of wines the winery carries. Exploring their website has been an educational experience for me. Do I see myself spending $650 on a 1.5 Liter bottle of their 2011 Reserve To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet? Nope. But I am interested in trying their Estates collection.
But how does it taste?
I can’t compare the $15 Robert Mondavi Private Selection Bourbon Barrels Cabernet Sauvignon to the Napa Valley because it has been a very long time since I had it. As for the Robert Mondavi 2019 Napa Valley Cab, I thought it was medium-bodied. I noticed aromas of oaky vanilla and tastes of dark fruits and oak. If you are fan of oaky wines this bottle has your name all over it.
