One is labled "C.K. Mondavi" and is produced at Charles Krug by Peter Mondavi. The other is "Robert Mondavi", produced by Robert Mondavi (Peter's brother) at the Robert Mondavi winery in Oakville, Napa Valley, CA. My opinion is that the Robert Mondavi Red table wine (sometimes available on sale (at least around the SF Bay area) in magnums for around 5 dollars) is the superior. Robert Mondavi's "premium" wines are truly fine and equal to any French wine (excepting, maybe, depending on your taste, and handful of Grands Crus) By the way, I am fortunate enough to live in Vallejo, 15 minutes from Napa, and would be glad to try and answer any questions on California wines.
