Kendall-Jackson Merlot Vintner's Reserve 2006

California, United StatesNow firmly a tri-county blend of mountain, hillside and bench fruit from Sonoma (61), Napa (23) and Mendocino (16) counties. Wow! How delicious is this edition. Expect dark fruit colours and flavours streaked with plums, cedar, cherry and spice with a smooth chassis. Structurally correct and full with a smoky, black fruit finish and rounded fine-grained tannins. This should settle the "Sideways" merlot issues for good. Well done.Tasted: 04 January 2009Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
