Woodbridge Cabernet Sauvignon Red Wine

The listing gives the brand as Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi, and the name itself is the whole of the Mondavi evidence: we cannot yet confirm any producer fact for Woodbridge.

The grape is firmer ground. The data identifies Cabernet Sauvignon, and we confirmed it: a red grown in many wine regions, often firmly built, and a common part of red blends. Regional authorities give black currant, cherry and plum as its usual fruit references, with noticeable tannin and sometimes spice from oak, and they note that ripeness, climate and winemaking can leave a Cabernet lean and herbal in style or broad and fruit-led.

210 shoppers have rated this wine, and their average is 4.37, a lower figure than the 4.71 median across the rated wines we cover.

Every price we hold is for the same 750 ml bottle. As of August 12, 2026, five stores had it between $7.99 and $9.99.

That gap narrows on the producer's own site. Robert Mondavi founded the Woodbridge label in 1979, and the winery still makes the wine in California; the brand's own page calls the line award-winning without naming which awards. The same page says the wine “opens with aromas of dark cherry, cedar, and a hint of spice”, and describes a medium-bodied wine carrying blackberry and dark cherry flavors, a note of cocoa, and a finish of toasted oak, suggested alongside seared steak or a rich spaghetti marinara. The page lists no alcohol percentage and no separate vintage tech sheet, so those two numbers stay unconfirmed.

Our call: it suits a table that wants a recognizable Cabernet on a tight budget with a named producer behind it, now that the producer's own page traces the label to Robert Mondavi's 1979 California start and lays out its aroma and flavor in some detail; the bottle sits among the least expensive reds we track, and one of the larger rating pools in our catalog gives its average real footing. Pass if that average is your compass; it lands below the middle of the rated wines we cover, and the producer's page still lists no alcohol percentage or vintage-specific tech sheet to stand behind that flavor description.
