"Steel acidity lifts the oak and fleshy body of this reserve-worthy wine--the core of flavor built around lush, decadent flavors of honey graham cracker, baked apple and lemon meringue. The richness is rewarding and softly beguiling on the palate. Virginie Boone"

"This is a well-made, powerful wine. Elegant, integrated and effusive in oak, it has pretty apple blossom aromas and boldly layered flavors of green apple, crème brûlée and lemon meringue. The finish is lush in a honeycomb tone. This will do well in the cellar; enjoy 2020-2025."

"Golden apple and honey flavors commingle on the palate, framed by high-toned acidity and toasted oak richness. Medium-bodied and moderately ripe, it offers a sophisticated, food-friendly and complex experience, capped off by nutmeg notes that linger on the finish."

"Toast with apricot jam comes first to mind in this nicely balanced white that begins in richness and evolves in the glass to offer a freshness of lime zest and grapefruit, the minerality well-defined."

"Juicy in tropical mango, coconut flake and guava, this sophisticated Chardonnay is measured in texture and weight, the body lean with a touch of vanilla richness on the finish."

"Fine acidity and a bracing minerality, like a lick of cold steel on a winter day, mark this Chardonnay. It has oak notes, but they're wisely kept in the background, allowing the citrus, green apple and peach flavors to star. This beautiful wine continues the winery's string of great reserve Chardonnays, and is their best since the 2006 vintage."

"This bottling always strives to avoid a heavy hand and express more of a terroir-driven Chardonnay. This is bone dry, tart in mouthwatering acidity and complex in citrus, tropical fruit and herb flavors. It's not an opulent attention getter, but instead prefers to seduce through subtlety and nuance."
a. 2009 Wine Enthusiast:

"Rich in tropical fruit and citrus flavors and generously oaked, this Chardonnay is made in the modern style, designed to appeal. It's dry and properly crisp, with a fine minerality, but is overworked. You can feel the heavy hand of the winemaker."
a. 2008 Wine Enthusiast:
91 of 100 Points.

"Lots of oaky richness in this detailed, highly enjoyable Chardonnay. It's tart and savory in acid-tinged lemondrop candy, tangerine and Asian pear flavors, elaborated with sweet buttered toast. Elegant and upscale, a wine to drink now."
a. 2007 Wine Enthusiast:
88 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" ha valutato il vino "Robert Mondavi Winery Reserve Chardonnay" dalla vendemmia 2007 il 01.01.2010 con 88 di 100 punti.
"Made in the modern style, this Chardonnay is very ripe and rich in jammy pineapples, green apples and limes, enhanced with smoky, caramelized oak and a creamy, slightly sour note of lees. It's fortunately balanced with crisp acidity. Best now and through 2012 before the fruit goes south."
a. 2006 Wine Enthusiast:

"Wine Enthusiast" ha valutato il vino "Robert Mondavi Winery Reserve Chardonnay" dalla vendemmia 2006 il 01.01.2008 con 93 di 100 punti.
"Over the years Mondavi's Reserve has taken a turn toward Chablis. Fans of lush, superripe Chards will find it tart, but it's really balanced and elegant. With a dry tang of minerals, it shows bright Meyer lemon, lime, pineapple and white peach flavors. One-third new oak adds creamy, smoky vanilla complexities. Should develop over the next six years."
a. 2005 Wine Enthusiast:
92 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" ha valutato il vino "Robert Mondavi Winery Reserve Chardonnay" dalla vendemmia 2005 il 01.01.2007 con 92 di 100 punti.
"Right now my preference between Mondavi's Reserve and regular Chard is the regular. This is a better wine, from a classic Chablisian point of view, but it needs time. It's firm and deep in fruit, with an impressive minerality, and the balance for aging. Lay this Chardonnay down for two to four years as it gains some bottle complexity."
a. 2003 Wine Enthusiast:
90 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" ha valutato il vino "Robert Mondavi Winery Reserve Chardonnay" dalla vendemmia 2003 il 01.01.2006 con 90 di 100 punti.
"Built along the same lines as Mondavi's regular Chard, this is an earthy wine whose fruit is restrained. It's sleek and elegant, very Chablisian in style, with a minerality through the finish. Should hold and improve."
a. 2000 Wine Enthusiast:

"Smooth and distinguished, a flamboyant wine with enough flavor to last all day. Peaches, pears and tropical fruits are encased in lush, toasty oak, while lees adds a creamy, mealy texture. This classy wine is rich and balanced."

"Die Trauben stammen hauptsächlich aus dem kühleren Carnerosgebiet, dazu noch etwas intensiveres Material aus dem Sierra Madre Vineyard im Santa Maria Valley. Zu 45 Prozent wurde der Chardonnay in neuem Holz ausgebaut. Kräftiges Gelbgold, zeigt eine kräftige Nase nach Haselnuss, aromatische Frucht, Ananas, Pfirsich und Vanille, am Gaumen eine kräftige Struktur, bereits harmonisch, finessenreich, eher ,,europäisch" als fett, wirkt am Gaumen weniger komplex als die Nase verspricht, mittlere Länge, frisches Finale. Eleganter Speisebegleiter."

"Another solid effort from Mondavi, the 1998 reserve shows fine structure and an attractive spectrum of citrus, peach, crème brulée and nut aromas and flavors that work in lovely harmony. It's full but not heavy, and balances fruit and acidity, sweetness and tartness, and light and full elements. The positive fruit, style and restraint are notable."

"The nose is fresh and offers a slight power as well as a slight minerality. It reveals notes of pear, passion fruits, mirabelle plum and small notes of citrus zest associated with very discreet hint of minerality. The mouth is mineral, racy and offers juiciness, freshness (fresh frame), a slight acidity, tension, precision, suavity, finesse as well as a beautiful balance. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy lemon, juicy mirabelle plum, pear and small notes of juicy nectarine associated with fine vanilla touches, fine toasted touches as well as a hint of salinity and slight hints of juicy fresh quince. Very slight chews and gourmandise on the finish. Good length and beautiful persistence. A beautiful wine!"

"Big in fruit, oak and creamy lees, but expressively balanced. Pear and tropical fruit flavors are enhanced with smoky vanillins and buttered toast, while the acid-tannin structure is sleek and classic."

"Much brighter in overall profile than Mondavi's regular '02 Carneros Chard, and also considerably oakier, this wine offers more of everything. It has pineapple and custard flavors and very crisp acidity that makes for a clean, polished finish."

"Powerful aromas of oak, oriental spice and citrus, especially lemon, dominate. Citrus flavors are powerful, too. This is a lean, tart wine layered with lavish oak. Don't look for tropical fruit in this El Niño wine, but it's stylish and elegant."

"The nose is fruity, fresh and offers a fine richness. It reveals notes of fleshy apple, fleshy pear and small notes of juicy/fresh quince associated with fine touches of lemon. The mouth is fresh, fruity, well-balanced and offers a good definition, freshness as well as a fine acidulous frame. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of fleshy pear, nectarine and small notes of juicy/fresh lychee associated with fine touches of juicy lemon. Good length persistence."

"Made in a less ripe style, with citrusy, herbal flavors that are well-oaked and leesy, this very dry Chard displays both elegance and a long finish. If you're into aging Chardonnays, try cellaring this through 2010. Should be fine."
