2011 Vintner's Reserve Syrah
Laurie Daniel, San Jose Mercury News, CA Wine Pick

Syrah's plunge in popularity has been well-documented. It's a pity, because the grape is so versatile. And you can find good, inexpensive versions, like the 2011 Kendall-Jackson Vintner's Reserve Syrah ($17), which is bright and smoky, with ripe berry, white pepper, a hint of roasted meat and fine tannins.

Pinot Noir, mourvedre and grenache join the syrah in this motley but juicy blend from three California counties. Earthy, ripe black berry grapes and soft mouthfeel.

It may be street food, but it's gourmet. Pair it with a big, rich 2007 Kendall-Jackson Syrah.

Syrahs are a little like zinfandels -- big, rich and almost sweet, great with spicy food. This one has black plum and cinnamon flavors and big but ripe tannins.

K-J has a terrific syrah in the full-bodied 2005 Vintner's Reserve Syrah, which is ripe with blackberry fruitiness and notes of black pepper.

2005 Vintner's Reserve Syrah
Michele Anna Jordan, Press Democrat, CA Wine of the Week

Our wine of the week, Kendall-Jackson 2005 Vintner's Reserve Syrah, is a somewhat subtle example of the direction of this varietal in California, and the New World in general. It does not have as much immediate forward fruit as Jess Jackson, founder of the behemoth brand, usually advocates. Instead, flavors begin to unfold midpalate, with a general sense of dark fruit swaddled in violet and lavender. A profoundly silky texture resolves in just a bit of roughness around the edges, where the wine's earthier qualities linger.

A rich, meaty syrah. Aromas and flavors of lavender, violet, dark plum, blackberry and caramel. Nice jammy fruit. Medium complexity. Soft texture.

Kendall-Jackson, best known for its ubiquitous Vintner's Blend Chardonnay, makes a wide range of red and white wines, among them this aromatic, muscular Syrah.

A 2004 Syrah was firm and spicy, with dark fruits and a rustic feel. It reminded me of Cotes-du-Rhone.

...offers a silky elixir of blueberry and blackberry fruit spice with lavender, rosemary and cocoa.

2003 Vintner's Reserve Syrah
Ben Giliberti, The Washington Post, DC Recommended

This entry-level Kendall-Jackson's syrah is no slouch. It comes from premium, cool climate hillside vineyards and gets a full quotient of oak aging. Although ripe and fruity in the California mode, the more austere flavors of the hillside fruit provide a robust, rustic style. Appealing to both California and Rhone wine lovers, this will prove a crowd pleaser.

Wes Marshall, The Austin Chronicle, TX Highly Recommended

KJ wowed the world with its off-dry Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay, selling pallets of the stuff in restaurants and grocery stores around the U.S While it made Jess Jackson a billionaire, he wanted something money couldn't buy: respect. This Syrah is a perfect example of where they are going, filled with big black fruit flavors (cherry, berry, and currant) and just enough of the grape's cranky natural aromas (black pepper, leather, and tar) to make you take a second whiff to analyze why you like it so much.

Charles Olken, Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine Good Value

Well-defined as Syrah with glints of peppery spice and nominal oak seasonings scattered throughout its length. Gets the job done at a very fair price.

John Vankat, Arizona Daily Sun, AZ March Wine Picks

This is one of the better wines produced by Kendall-Jackson, a winery that focuses on wines with broad appeal. Although the aromas are a bit light, the flavors are medium-strong, well-balanced and refined. Enjoy the wine's deliciously smooth texture with light-flavored meats such as pork.

Deep sandy soils, deep crimson. Dry and very serious. Not at all the California sweetness factor - signs of real potential in this particular fruit.

Juicy, with good concentration to beef, pomegranate and cola flavors highlighted by mocha oak and round structure. Drink now through 2006.
