                         THE ROBERT MONDAVI CORPORATION
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



NOTE 1--BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

        In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments (which include only normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial
position at September 30, 1999 and its results of operations and its cash flows
for the three month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted from the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
For further information, reference should be made to the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K (the 10-K) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, on file at the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain fiscal 1999 balances have been
reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

NOTE 2--INVENTORIES:

        Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market and inventory
costs are determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Costs
associated with growing crops are recorded as inventory and are recognized as
wine inventory costs in the year in which the related crop is harvested.

        Inventories consist of the following (in thousands):

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 2000 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 1999

NET REVENUES Net revenues increased by 13.4%, reflecting an 8.6% increase in
sales volume and a shift in sales mix to wines with higher net revenues per
case.

COST OF GOODS SOLD Cost of goods sold increased by 9.2%, reflecting the increase
in sales volume and a shift in sales mix to wines with higher average costs per
case.

GROSS PROFIT As a result of the above factors, the Company's gross profit
percentage increased to 47.5% compared to 45.5% a year ago.

OPERATING EXPENSES Operating expenses increased by 14.9% due primarily to the
increase in sales volume and increased promotional spending per case that were
partially offset by a decrease in general and administrative expenses. The ratio
of operating expenses to net revenues was 28.4%, compared to 28.1% a year ago.

INTEREST Interest expense decreased by 3.6% due mainly to an increase in the
Company's average borrowings that was offset by an increase in capitalized
interest and a decrease in the Company's average interest rate. The increase in
capitalized interest was due to increased vineyard development and winery
expansion and renovation projects.

EQUITY IN NET INCOME OF JOINT VENTURES Equity in net income of joint ventures
decreased by 3.6% due mainly to the timing of the Opus One fall release. As a
result, equity in net income of joint ventures is expected to be higher during
the second quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to the same period last year.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES The Company's effective tax rate remained unchanged
from prior year at 38.5%.

NET INCOME AND EARNINGS PER SHARE As a result of the above factors, net income
totaled $9.3 million, or $.58 per diluted share, compared to $8.0 million, or
$.51 per diluted share, a year ago.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $4.5 million during the quarter
as cash used in investing and financing activities exceeded cash provided by
operations. Cash provided by operations totaled $21.8 million, reflecting net
income, as well as the non-cash impact on pre-tax income of depreciation and
amortization and seasonal changes in accounts receivable and accounts payable.
Cash of $22.4 million was used in investing activities for vineyard development,
purchases of barrels and production equipment for the 1999 harvest and
renovation of the Robert Mondavi Winery. Cash used in financing activities of
$3.9 million primarily reflects repayments of term debt.

        The Company's short-term credit lines expire on December 24, 1999. The
Company expects to renew the short-term credit lines for at least their current
availability of $71.5 million.

YEAR 2000

               The Year 2000 issue, which is common to most companies, relates
to the inability of computer systems, including information technology (IT) and
non-IT systems, to properly recognize and process date sensitive information
with respect to dates in the Year 2000 and thereafter. The Company believes that
it will be able to achieve Year 2000 compliance by the end of 1999 and it does
not expect any material disruption of its operations as a result of any failure
by the Company to achieve Year 2000 compliance. However, to the extent the
Company is not able to resolve any Year 2000 issues, the Company's business and
results of operations could be materially affected. This could result from
computer related failures in the Company's financial systems, manufacturing and
warehouse management systems, phone systems and electrical supply.

               The Company has assessed its internal computer systems and
software and has completed the necessary modifications or replacements so that
its operating systems will function properly with respect to dates in the Year
2000 and thereafter. The Company has also evaluated and updated its non-IT
systems with respect to the Year 2000 issue. The Company's non-IT systems
include phones, voicemail, electricity, heating and air conditioning and
security systems. The cost to the Company of evaluating and modifying its own
systems was not material, nor does the Company believe that, with these
modifications, the Year 2000 issue will pose significant operational problems
for its computer and non-IT systems. However, as testing of Year 2000
functionality of the Company's systems must occur in a simulated environment,
the Company will not be able to test full system Year 2000 interfaces and
capabilities prior to the Year 2000. To the extent the Company is not able to
address any of its Year 2000 issues, the Company believes that it could revert
to manual processes previously employed or outsource work with minimal
incremental cost.

               The Company is also in the process of evaluating system
interfaces with third-party systems, such as those with key suppliers,
distributors and financial institutions, for Year 2000 functionality. If the
systems of other companies with which the Company does business do not address
any Year 2000 issues on a timely basis, the Company may experience a variety of
problems which may have a material adverse effect on the Company. These problems
may include, but are not limited to, loss of electronic data interchange
capability with the Company's customers and vendors, and failure of the
Company's vendors to deliver and bill for materials and products ordered by the
Company. As a result, the Company may experience inventory shortages or
surpluses. Should these problems arise, the Company expects to utilize voice,
facsimile and/or mail communication to place orders with vendors, receive
customer orders and process customer billings. In addition, the Company could
utilize alternate sources of supply should its vendors not resolve their Year
2000 issues on a timely basis.


                                     PART II

ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

        The Company is subject to litigation in the ordinary course of its
business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate outcome of existing
litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated
financial condition or the results of its operations.

ITEM 6.   EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K.

               1)      Exhibits:

               Exhibit 27    Financial Data Schedule

               2)      Form 8-K:

               No reports on Form 8-K were filed during the quarter ended
               September 30, 1999

                                        THE ROBERT MONDAVI CORPORATION

Dated:  November 12, 1999               By   /s/  STEPHEN A. MCCARTHY
                                           ------------------------------------
                                             Stephen A. McCarthy,
                                             Chief Financial Officer



                           FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

        The above Form 10-Q and other information provided from time to time by
the Company contains historical information as well as forward-looking
statements about the Company, the premium wine industry and general business and
economic conditions. Such forward-looking statements include, for example,
projections or predictions about the Company's future growth, consumer demand
for its wines, including new brands and brand extensions, margin trends, the
premium wine grape market and the Company's anticipated future investment in
vineyards and other capital projects and possible costs and operational risks
associated with the Year 2000 issue. Actual results may differ materially from
the Company's present expectations. Among other things, reduced consumer
spending or a change in consumer preferences could reduce demand for the
Company's wines. Similarly, competition from numerous domestic and foreign
vintners could affect the Company's ability to sustain volume and revenue
growth. The price of grapes, the Company's single largest product cost, is
beyond the Company's control and higher grape costs may put more pressure on the
Company's gross profit margin than is currently forecast. Interest rates and
other business and economic conditions could increase significantly the cost and
risks of projected capital spending. For additional cautionary statements
identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from such forward-looking information, please refer to Item 7,
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations," in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1999, on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. For
these and other reasons, no forward-looking statement by the Company can nor
should be taken as a guarantee of what will happen in the future.
