winemaker's notes:
Grand Reserve is a masterful blend of Kendall-Jackson's mountain, hillside, ridge and benchland grapes grown along California's cool coastal appellations.
Grapes are hand-selected from their best estate
vineyards and are then monitored, tasted and hand-held by individual lot throughout the winemaking
process. Each lot is kept separate, barrel-aged
and handcrafted — boutique winery style. Kendall-Jackson's
winemakers have an unmatched palate of flavors,
toast levels and terroir nuances from which they
masterfully blend these exemplary rich, deep and
complex wines.
96% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Sauvignon
Black plum, boysenberry, and cherry flavors dance
amongst the violet, chocolate and cedar notes. This wine is smooth and the tannins are refined and round. In true Merlot character, this wine caresses the mouth and lingers beyond each sip.
