Kendall-Jackson Merlot Grand Reserve 2002

California, United StatesSpicy, black cherry, tobacco, olive, cedar aromas with a cherry cola and vanilla undercurrent. The styling is round and supple thanks to a new extended cold soak prior to fermentation. The flavours are a spicy mix of black cherries, with flecks of chocolate and tobacco. Love the balance and weight and it has fine intensity. Drink now or hold for up to three years. The fruit is a rigourous selection of the best lots 45/31/24 from Mendocino / Sonoma and Napa counties.Tasted: 23 May 2005Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
