Kendall-Jackson Merlot Grand Reserve 1999
California, United StatesThe "California" is a blend of fruit form Anderson Valley 31; Alexander Valley 28; Napa Valley 25; Russian River Valley 8; Monterey 5; and Sonoma 3. Look for tobacco, earthy, peppery, leafy aromas with light resiny, cherry notes. It's somewhat lean and dry with angular tannins at this stage. It's spicy peppery, herbal, cherry vanilla flavours finish with a touch of clove. It's a bit too hard for current drinking; we suggest another year or two of bottle ageing to soften up the tannins.Tasted: 18 February 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $66.95 | 750ml | Speculative - Rennaisance |
