Kendall-Jackson Merlot Grand Reserve 2003
Sonoma - Napa, California, United StatesAn extended cold soak prior to fermentation continues to enhance the round, supple nature of this merlot with its spicy black fruit nose and cedar-y, olive underbelly. Similar flavours mark the palate with flecked with cherry cola and chocolate. The fruit is a rigourous selection of top lots from Sonoma (77) and Napa (23). Winemaker Randy Ullom is using 23 per cent new French oak here and it's really firm up the mid-plate and finish. Well done.Tasted: 07 August 2006Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $44.95 | 750ml | speculative - Summit Fine Wines |
