Robert Mondavi Private Selection Pinot Noir Red Wine

This is a Pinot Noir sold in a 750 ml bottle, and the grape is about as far as our confirmed knowledge of it reaches. We have not verified who makes it, so there is no maker's backstory to pass along. That leaves the grape itself and the way shoppers have scored it.

8 ratings put it at 4.63 on the store's five-point scale as of August 12, 2026. That is a small tally, and it leans high; how far the score would hold as more people weigh in, the number itself cannot promise.

Pinot Noir is a thin-skinned red grape, used both for still reds like this one and, in other regions, as a base for traditional-method sparkling wine. Category guides place it around red cherry, berry and plum, lighter in color and gentler in tannin than a Cabernet Sauvignon. Where it grows and how ripe the fruit gets can pull it from pale and delicate toward deep and full, so the grape marks out a range more than one fixed taste.

Price is where this bottle turns notable: when we compared shelves in September 2026, the tag, which ranged from $9.99 to $16.99 depending on the store, sat among the lowest of any red we follow.

Our call: treat it as a low-cost way into Pinot Noir; it sits among the least expensive reds we track, and that position is the whole argument here. Pass if you want a crowd behind a bottle before you buy it, since the rating rests on a small early count.
