Cabernet Robert Mondavi Private Selection at Olive Garden is a California Cabernet Sauvignon from one of Napa Valley's most celebrated wine estates, priced at $27.75 per bottle for takeout and containing 620 calories. The Robert Mondavi Private Selection label sources grapes from California's Central Coast, producing a Cabernet with the ripe red fruit, oak, and vanilla character the Mondavi name is associated with at a more accessible price than the winery's Napa estate bottlings. It is the boldest, most structured red wine available on the Wine and Beer to Go menu.
Cabernet Sauvignon is the appropriate pairing for the restaurant's steak and heavier beef-based dishes. At Olive Garden, it pairs most naturally with the 6 oz. Sirloin and the Steak Gorgonzola Alfredo — dishes where the wine's tannin structure has enough protein to grip against. At $27.75, it is a $3 premium over the base-tier wines and the same price as the premium Sauvignon Blanc, reflecting both the Mondavi label's recognition value and the general higher price positioning of Cabernet Sauvignon in the California wine market.

Ripe red fruit including cherry and blackcurrant with oak and vanilla notes from barrel aging. The tannins are firm but approachable for a Cabernet, making it more accessible than some tighter California Cabernets while still delivering the structure the variety is known for.
Cabernet Sauvignon needs protein to tame its tannins. Best pairings are the 6 oz. Sirloin, Steak Gorgonzola Alfredo, Chicken Parmigiana, Meatballs Parmigiana, and Lasagna Classico. Avoid pairing with seafood or delicate cream-only pasta dishes where the tannins dominate.
Yes. The Private Selection label sources grapes from California's broader Central Coast rather than from Napa Valley. It is priced significantly below the flagship Napa Valley label but maintains the Mondavi house style and winemaking approach at the price point.
620 calories for the full bottle. Per standard 150ml glass, approximately 124 calories — among the lower-calorie dry reds on the menu due to the moderate alcohol level in the Private Selection range.
