Kendall-Jackson Merlot Grand Reserve 2006
Sonoma - Napa, California, United StatesWith 88 per cent French oak and 33 per cent of that new the GR Merlot is evolving into a pretty serious red wine. It' still true to the GR style, glossy and USA USA, but with some subtleties creeping in the mid-palate and back end. Look for a ripe fruit nose flecked with cedar and dried herbs. The flavours are a spicy mix of plums coffee, tobacco with a dusting of minerality and floral notes. A rich glossy style with some tannin yet to shed. The fruit mix is 75/25 Sonoma / Napa.Tasted: 04 January 2009Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| QC | $37.00 | 750ml | |
