2006 Kendall-Jackson Vintner's Reserve Syrah

Tasting Notes

"Intense black currant and bold, jammy blackberry and boysenberry flavors are accented by black cherry, earth and perfume notes. A full mouthfeel is rounded off with supple suede leather and spice for an elegant yet big, lush finish." – Randy Ullom, Winemaster

Acclaim

87 Points - "Kendall-Jackson's everyday-priced Syrah shows a professional hand with respect to composition and well-defined fruit. Fairly deep, nicely balanced and not so tannic as to preclude drinking now, it is a downright steal at the price."
Charles Olken, Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine, November 2008

86 Points - "This softly appealing Syrah has pie-filling flavors of cherries and blackberries, with cinnamon spice, brown sugar and baked crust overtones. It's a dry, interesting wine that belies its everyday price." - Steve Heimoff, Wine Enthusiast, November 2008
