1998 Grand Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
Editor, Wine & Spirits

Blended from a range of vineyards, virtually all from the Napa Valley (one percent from Alexander Valley), this cabernet comes off soft and ripe. The sweet red jam flavors have a crispness in the finish...

Dorothy J. Gaiter and John Brecher, The Wall Street Journal, NY Very Good

Dark color, with a deep, rich, young nose that leaps out and bites you back. Edgy. Serious breeding and awesome fruit. Black-cherry wine. Definitely one for the future.

Black cherry, currant, sandalwood and fresh herb notes are wrapped within slightly green tannins.

1997 Great Estates Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
Stephen Tanzer, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar

Good full red. Perfumed, fruit-driven nose combines redcurrant, raspberry and black cherry; fresher and less rustic than that of Alexander Valley bottling. Dense, sweet and full in the mouth, with harmonious acidity keeping it fresh. Conveys Alexander Valley bottling. But finishes slightly more aggressive, with big, dusty, tannins.

1997 Great Estates Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
Dennis Schaefer, Santa Barbara News-Press, CA

You can literally smell the rich texture along with the aromatic complexity in this wine after one swirl of the glass. Dark plum and blackberry fruit flavors are well extracted with a deep, chewy texture, perfect balance and fine, flavor sustaining acidity. A classic Napa cab, with Rutherford dust, that deserves some bottle age to really blossom.

Stephen Tanzer, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar

Good full red. Aromas of redcurrant, leather, chocolate and tobacco. lush and seamless on the palate, with an attractive restrained sweetness and good acid verve. Not yet displaying its full personality, but this is already aromatic in the mouth. Finishes with dusty, mounting tannins and a very good persistence.

Dark berry flavors, along with overtones of cherries and dried herbs are juicy and soft in the mouth. Well concentrated and moderately complex, the wine's stream of flavors doesn't quit and is enhance with a dollop of oak. More polished than the Napa bottling and delicious to drink now.

1997 Stature Cabernet Sauvignon
Stephen Tanzer, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar

Red-ruby. Very ripe, slightly briary aromas of raspberry, cherry and smoky oak. Large-scaled and mouthfilling; very ripe but not at all heavy. This offers impressive sweetness and depth of flavor. Finishes long and smooth, with sweet tannins spreading out to coat the palate.

Very rich, oaky and a bit jammy. Sumptuous and concentrated with a chewy finish.

Editor, Decanter 5 stars

Reductive nose. Very rich, very oaky and a bit jammy, but with open tannic support. This is a blockbuster with more power than finesse -- but sumptuous and concentrated with a chewy finish...Oak and fruit aromas. Very young ripe fresh berry fruit combined with good acidity and tannin balance. Some complexity, with a long alcoholic, rich finish.

This cab has a soft style and resembles Merlot. A crisp, pleasant wine with tangy, bright blackberry fruit.

Editor, Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine

This, the most plentiful of Kendall-Jackson's "reserve" Cabernets, is a rounded, slightly herbal, relatively uncomplicated, mid-sized wine that is fit with attractive fruit and trim of sweetening oak. It is lightly tannic yet and could do with a few years of age…

Gobs of generous cassis, cherry and plum flavors. Nice oak.

...Kendall-Jackson's impressive Single Vineyard Series, the 1996 Buckeye Vineyard cabernet sauvignon. This is a big, elegant wine with layers of flavors and a lovely, long finish. At $65, it's a wine for dedicated cabernet fans.

Burke Owens, Wine & Spirits

Straightforward and varietally true, this is a good all-purpose cabernet. Dark and youthful in appearance with smoky aromas, spicy plum fruit, and a creamy texture that will pair well with a variety of people and foods.
