2006 Kendall-Jackson Grand Reserve Pinot Noir

Tasting Notes

"Subtle blackberry aromas lead to a core of wild strawberries. Intense raspberry and black cherry flavors follow on the mid-palate. Elevated terrain imparts an exquisite complexity and richness throughout, while hints of chocolate and velvety, rose petal tannins linger on the finish." - Randy Ullom, Winemaster

Acclaim

92 Points - "Shows the polish and finesse of a wine costing far more. Made from selected Monterey vineyards and with considerable new French oak, the wine is flashy and complex, with cherry, cola, pomegranate and spice flavors and a rich earthiness that suggests saut褤 mushrooms or truffles. Really notable for its balance and depth."
- Steve Heimoff, Wine Enthusiast, July 2008
