A structured, deliciously fruity, nicely extracted, expansive, supple, textbook Zinfandel with plenty of smoky, briary, black-cherry fruit. Although forward, the wine possesses enough depth and balance to last for 5-6 years.

Zesty and precise, with lively raspberry and toasty spice flavors than finish on a crisp, refined note.

This wine has a delicious core of supple, satisfying black-cherry and blackberry flavors accented by light oak spice and salt and pepper. While full bodied, the wine's texture is quite smooth and only mildly tannic to keep it in balance.

This pitch black colored Zinfandel opens with a blackberry bouquet with a hint of blueberry and oak. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, juicy and a fruit forward. The flavor is a black raspberry and blackberry blend with notes of stewed plum and oak with a hint of black pepper. The finish is dry and its flavors and moderate tannins are nicely controlled. This Zin would pair well with a zesty pulled pork sandwich. Very good.

Powerful fruit flavors and a firm, high-octane feeling on the palate make this a big, imposing wine. It offers tasty, ripe boysenberry-jam flavors, moderate tannins and a lip-smacking finish.

This full-bodied wine combines spicy aromas with deep fruit flavors like plum and blackberry. The fresh, juicy texture has just enough tannin to make it appetizing. The wine has enough heft to pair well with a lot of savory and meaty dishes.

Sweetly ripe and soft, this wine has a zesty acidity that gives its polished, voluptuous red fruit an inner glow. It's a simple and delicious zin to pour at a cookout with grilled chicken and sausages.

Fresh, generous and juicy with bright raspberry and blueberry fruit; smooth, vibrant and charming with depth and a long, tangy finish.

Big purple and black plum notes with full-bodied juiciness and a smooth texture. Perfect for BBQ.

Light yellow-gold. Ripe citrus and orchard fruits on the nose, with complicating notes of white pepper, violet and mint. Fleshy, expansive orchard and pit fruit flavors are brightened by notes of lime and lemongrass, along with a touch of anise. Refreshingly bitter on the lime-flavored, slightly warm finish.

Medium-bodied, tart racy acidity. Moderately sweet. Apple, melon and pear flavors. Fruit is dominant.

An oaky style that succeeds. Ripe and intense with a pretty array of pear, grass, herb, melon, and cedary oak, finishing with a smoky, toasty edge and plenty of flavor.

Nicely ripe fruit flavors and a full rounded texture give this affordably priced wine more presence than most. The aroma is honeydew melon and the flavors are ripe apple and Anjou pear, while the acidity is on the soft side.

The 2012 Sauvignon Blanc Grand Reserve is one of the finest examples of this cuvee I have yet tasted. It is 100% Sauvignon Blanc, most of it coming from cool areas such as Mendocino and Lake County. It saw 2% oak, which can not have affected it much, and only around 500 cases were produced. A great value, it offers lots of fig, melon and honeyed grapefruit notes, medium body, and a crisp, fresh finish. It should be consumed over the next 1-2years.

A fine Sauvignon Blanc that delivers plenty of bang for the buck. It's highlighted by brisk, clean acidity and ripe, delicious flavors of oranges, limes and papayas, with savory, palate-tingling spices.

A new addition to the portfolio is the 2009 Vintner's Reserve Summation, an intriguing blend of 33% Sauvignon Blanc, 27% Viognier, 15% Chardonnay and the rest Semillon, Roussanne, Pinot Blanc, Riesling and Muscat Canelli, all largely fermented in stainless steel and neutral oak. It is a terrific perfumed, juicy white displaying a rainbow of tropical fruits in addition to crisp acids, medium body, a dry, flavorful mid-palate and lots of purity. This is a pleasure-giving, exciting, dry white that sells for a song. Kendall-Jackson enjoys a well-deserved reputation for over-delivering quality vis à vis price for its wines. Any offering from Kendall-Jackson bearing the Vintner's Reserve designation will offer much more quality than its humble price suggests.

...substantial wine that is 100% barrel-fermented, mostly in French oak. It possesses good underlying acidity as well as abundant quantities of tangerine, orange marmalade, honeysuckle, and tropical fruit notes. The oak character is more prominent than in the Vintner's Reserve, but this is medium to full-bodied, rich Chardonnay...

Packs in lots of ripe, rich, complex flavors, with buttery pear, fig, apricot and earthy citrus, finishing with pretty, toasty oak and a long, complex aftertaste.

It is a fleshy, medium to full-bodied, well-delineated Chardonnay loaded with tropical fruits infused with subtle, smoky oak...

Well oaked and buttery, but retains a lively citrus freshness. Green apples and pears fill the center while the framework is all buttered popcorn and crème brulee.

…this tropical fruit and honeysuckle-dominated wine reveals smoke, gorgeous fruit, excellent purity, and a medium to full-bodied, luscious finish. It is a crowd-pleasing Chardonnay with abundant power and intensity.

Ripe and flavorful, with lots of spice, rich fig, pear and subtle honey notes. Turns smooth and creamy.
