2006 Kendall-Jackson Highland Estates Seco Highlands Pinot Noir

Tasting Notes

"Black cherry and ripe strawberry fruit with soft, velvety tannins. Integrated oak imparts a hint of smoke on top of the fruit and earth in the nose. This lush, sensuous wine is unfiltered." - Randy Ullom, Winemaster

Acclaim

92 Points - "The latest Seco Highlands pinot is another jump up in finesse and elegance. There is also more black cherry fruit this year, and a little less of the spicy, carrot top and rhubarb flavours. Fine mid-palate weight, with smoky black fruit in the finish. Refined textures. It is aged 10 months in 100 percent French oak and 50 percent of that is new. Impressive."
Anthony Gismondi, Wine Access, April 2008
