Kendall-Jackson Cabernet Sauvignon Grand Reserve 1999
California, United StatesAn unusual mix of 70 per cent Napa fruit (21 per cent coming out of Rutherford) and 30 per cent Sonoma County (17 per cent Dry Creek Valley and 13 per cent Alexander Valley) all of which spends 20 months in small mostly French oak which is about one third new. Look for a big, spicy, tarry, vanilla and berry jam nose. It's moderately rich and ripe with round but dry tannins, spicy, cassis jam, tarry, blackberry flavours and a peppery, vanilla finish. Good fruit and balance with quite young tannins. It needs another two plus years before optimal drinking.Tasted: 18 February 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $66.95 | 750ml | Speculative - Renaissance |
