2005 Kendall-Jackson Grand Reserve Meritage Red

Tasting Notes

"Succulent flavors of roasted coffee, dark chocolate, pomegranate and black cherry intertwine giving you a multilayered full mouthfeel. Purposeful blending of mountain Merlot and Cabernet Franc bring additional rich flavors and provide balance and structure for the firm tannins. Exceptional mid-palate finish." - Randy Ullom, Winemaster
