1993 Grand Reserve Nebbiolo
Editor, Press Democrat, CA 3 Stars. Good.

The tar aroma is typical of Nebbiolo, plus there's a hint of tobacco and leather. Flavors are tightly wound.

2013 Avant Red Blend
Sandra Silfven, The Detroit News, MI Tuesday Wine Pick

Bold red and black fruit, spice, sturdy acidity, supple tannins - this baby fires on all cylinders. It's a blend of mostly Syrah, Zinfandel and Merlot, with some Petite Sirah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache and other varieties. The fruit is lush and rich, woven with spice and alcohol and wood. Winemaster Randy Ullom writes that it brings a smile to your face - that was my thought exactly.

2013 Avant Red Blend
Peg Melnik, Press Democrat, CA 3½ stars

This blend leads with feisty black cherry, followed by raspberry and a kick of cracked black pepper. It's tasty, bold and approachable. Tangy finish. A nice, less expensive option.

Let’s Talk Wine: Enjoying red, red wine blends Together syrah, cabernet sauvignon and malbec with a solid base of merlot. Soft tannins with layers of plum, raspberry, strawberry, pomegranate, and hints of vanilla and chocolate, combine to create a wine that is smooth and fruit-forward.

2013 Avant Red Blend
Michael Austin, Chicago Tribune, IL Wine Pick

California is this bottle's origin, with grapes from five counties — half merlot, 22 percent syrah, and smaller amounts of cabernet sauvignon, malbec, petite sirah, carignan and other. I promise you, those are grapes. This wine has plum, raspberry, licorice and a hint of spice.

2012 Avant Red Blend
Sandra Silfven, The Detroit News, MI Wine Pick

This easy-drinking, well-made red is a blend of Merlot, Syrah and Malbec. It has all the hallmarks of a dry red without hammering the dryness. It’s off-dry, but the tannins and acidity hold the package together for those who prefer dry. Flavors: Think strawberry, raspberry, ripe plum and dark chocolate. This is an introductory dry red that far surpasses what many other brands are doing.

2012 Avant Red Blend
Michael Dresser, The Baltimore Sun, MD Wine of the Week

This new brand from the massive Kendall-Jackson wine empire is a worthy choice in the middling price range. K-J wines may not thrill elite critics, but their quality is very consistent and the wines are widely available. This smooth, penetrating wine is a skillful blend of red grapes that yields lush flavors of raspberry, black cherry, chocolate and spices. In French, Avant means forward and that's a good description of this wine's style. It's for now, not later.

2010 Vintner's Reserve Summation Red Wine Blend
Sandra Silfven, The Detroit News, MI Wine Pick

This is K-J’s affordable red wine blend, the genre that is so popular right now. The 2010 vintage is a knockout — a blend of almost equal parts Syrah and Zinfandel, backed up with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petite Sirah — no doubt a recipe that changes with every vintage. It’s a layered, structured dry red with a personality of black cherry, raspberry, dark chocolate, black pepper, dark plum, cranberry and herbal, leathery notes. It finishes dry and herbal.

2009 Vintner's Reserve Summation Red Wine Blend

2009 Vintner's Reserve Summation Red Wine Blend
Michael Dresser, The Baltimore Sun, MD Wine of the Week

This blend of zinfandel, grenache, syrah, merlot and other red varietals is a very pleasant experience. There's the power and earthiness of the zin, the broad shoulders of the syrah, the exuberant fruit of the grenache and the soft elegance of the merlot. The cherry and blackberry flavors are intense and penetrating but not harsh. It goes to show that while soil is crucial, the winemaker's skill is important too.

Like the final statement in a trial, wine master Randy Ullom says this wine is the study and final blending of red varietals. It's dark, rich and smooth, with flavors of blackberries and mocha.
