2006 Kendall-Jackson Vintner's Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting Notes

"Opens with deep black cherry, blackberry and cassis flavors. Intense, round and well-structured tannins provide a strong backbone throughout the middle. Cedar and vanilla notes linger on the finish, beckoning another sip." – Randy Ullom, Winemaster

Acclaim

88 Points - "A lovely, polished Cab, brimming with fresh flavors of blackberries, currants, cedar and spice. With its dry, lush mouthfeel and firm tannins, it provides quite a bang for your buck." - Steve Heimoff, Wine Enthusiast, July 2009

87 Points - "The 2006 Vintner's Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the finest examples of this wine I have tasted. It exhibits good elegance as well as a spicy, berry, black currant, roasted herb, and spicy oak-scented nose."
- Robert M. Parker Jr., Wine Advocate, December 2008
