2006 Kendall-Jackson Grand Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting Notes

"Well-defined currants, blackberry, blueberry and cassis make for abundant fruit on the attack. Sturdy, complex tannins balance the acidity throughout. Notes of smoke, mocha, cedar and lots of rich oak round off the long, earthy, heady finish." – Randy Ullom, Winemaster

Acclaim

91 Points - "The vintage was a good one for all K-J's Cabernets, and this Grand Reserve offers lots of bang for your buck. It's full-bodied and dry, with rich blackberry jam, red currant, licorice and cedar flavors that finish long and spicy."
- Steve Heimoff, Wine Enthusiast, July 2009
