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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

During fiscal 2000, the Company recorded a net gain, primarily related to the
sale of vineyard land, and inventory step-up charges(1) associated with the
purchase accounting resulting from the Company's minority investment in
Ornellaia. In fiscal 1999, the Company recorded certain reorganization and other
one-time charges related to asset impairment and employee separation expenses.
The adjusted figures, referred to below, exclude the items discussed above.

THIRD QUARTER OF FISCAL 2000 COMPARED TO THIRD QUARTER OF FISCAL 1999

NET REVENUES Net revenues increased by 11.5%, reflecting a 12.7% increase in
sales volume and a shift in sales mix to wines with lower net revenues per case.

COST OF GOODS SOLD Cost of goods sold increased by 10.4%, reflecting increased
sales volume that was partially offset by a shift in sales mix to wines with
lower average costs per case.

GROSS PROFIT As a result of the above factors, the Company's gross profit
percentage was 46.3% compared to 45.8% last year.

OPERATING EXPENSES Operating expenses increased by 18.0% and the ratio of
operating expenses to net revenues increased to 28.9% from 27.3% a year ago.
These increases were primarily due to higher promotional spending per case,
including advertising.

INTEREST Interest expense increased by 18.1% due to increases in average
borrowings outstanding and in the Company's average interest rate. The increase
associated with higher borrowing levels was partially offset by an increase in
capitalized interest due to vineyard development, winery renovation and facility
expansion projects.

EQUITY IN NET INCOME OF JOINT VENTURES The increase in equity in net income of
joint ventures was due mainly to improved income from the Opus One and Caliterra
joint ventures during the period. Adjusted equity in net income of joint
ventures totaled $1.2 million compared to a loss of $0.2 million a year ago.

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

NET INCOME AND EARNINGS PER SHARE As a result of the above factors, net income
as reported totaled $8.3 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, compared to $7.5
million, or $0.47 per diluted share, a year ago. Adjusted net income totaled
$8.5 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, compared to $7.5 million, or $0.47 per
diluted share, a year ago.



 (1) Under purchase accounting, the purchase price is allocated to the assets
and liabilities of the acquired company based on their estimated fair market
values at the time of the transaction. When the inventory acquired is sold in
the normal course of business, costs of the inventory are charged to cost of
goods sold, including the amount of the inventory step-up (the difference
between the original book value of the inventory and the fair market value of
the inventory upon acquisition). The inventory step-up adjustment reduces the
company's reported net income.



                                       6
<PAGE>   7
FIRST NINE MONTHS OF FISCAL 2000 COMPARED TO FIRST NINE MONTHS OF FISCAL 1999

NET REVENUES Net revenues increased by 14.0%, reflecting a 13.1% 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 as reported increased by 8.4%. Adjusted
cost of goods sold increased by 11.8%, reflecting increased sales volume that
was partially offset by a shift in sales mix to wines with lower average costs
per case.

GROSS PROFIT As a result of the above factors, the Company's gross profit
percentage was 46.5% compared to 43.7% reported last year. The adjusted gross
profit percentage in fiscal 1999 was 45.4%.

OPERATING EXPENSES Operating expenses as reported increased by 16.5%. Adjusted
operating expenses increased by 18.9% and the ratio of adjusted operating
expenses to net revenues increased to 28.3% from 27.1% a year ago. These
increases were primarily due to higher promotional spending per case, including
advertising.

INTEREST Interest expense increased by 4.5%, due primarily to an increase in
average borrowings outstanding. Interest associated with the higher borrowing
levels was partially offset by an increase in capitalized interest due to
vineyard development, winery renovation and facility expansion projects.

EQUITY IN NET INCOME OF JOINT VENTURES The increase in equity in net income of
joint ventures was due mainly to improved income from the Opus One and Caliterra
joint ventures. Adjusted equity in net income of joint ventures totaled $6.6
million compared to $4.6 million a year ago.

OTHER "Other" primarily consists of miscellaneous non-operating income and
expense items. "Other" includes a net gain primarily related to the sale of
vineyard land of $2.5 million in fiscal 2000.

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

NET INCOME AND EARNINGS PER SHARE As a result of the above factors, net income
as reported totaled $32.2 million, or $2.01 per diluted share, compared to $22.0
million, or $1.39 per diluted share, a year ago. Adjusted net income totaled
$30.9 million, or $1.93 per diluted share, compared to $25.6 million, or $1.62
per diluted share, a year ago.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $4.5 million during the first nine months
of fiscal 2000 as cash used in operating and investing activities exceeded cash
provided by financing activities. Cash used in operations totaled $29.9 million,
reflecting an increase in inventories required to support expected future sales
growth and an increase in other assets that were partially offset by net income,
as well as the non-cash impact on pre-tax income of depreciation and
amortization. Cash used in investing activities totaled $57.4 million,
reflecting vineyard development and land acquisitions; renovation of the Robert
Mondavi Winery facility; facility expansion and purchases of production
equipment; and contributions to joint ventures. Cash provided by financing
activities totaled $82.8 million, reflecting the addition of $50.0 million in
new term debt, a net increase in credit line borrowings and repayments of term
debt.



                                       7
<PAGE>   8
During fiscal 2000, the Company increased its total acreage of controlled
vineyards in California to nearly 9,500 acres from approximately 5,000 acres at
the end of fiscal 1999. The increased acreage was primarily achieved through
long-term leases.

The Company has unsecured short-term and long-term credit lines that have a
maximum credit availability of $91.5 million and $60.0 million, respectively.
The short-term credit lines expire as follows: $55.0 million expires on December
21, 2000 and $36.5 million expires on December 23, 2000. The long-term credit
lines expire on December 31, 2002.


                                     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.

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. 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.
