2006 Kendall-Jackson Grand Reserve Syrah

Tasting Notes

"Ripe boysenberry and raspberry flavors entice the senses while a long flirtation of spicy plum and peppercorn linger on the finish. Bold tannins hold their weight throughout every sip of this powerful and intense wine." - Randy Ullom, Winemaster

Acclaim

89 Points - "There is only a small quantity of the inky/purple-colored 2006 Grand Reserve Syrah which offers chocolatey, blackberry, charcoal, pepper and earth note."
- Robert M. Parker Jr., Wine Advocate, December 2008
