My favorite. A fabulous, intensely flavored wine.

If you can find it, grab it. Sensational, rich and fruity.

A favorite.

Pleasantly fruity with grape, herb, cherry and currant notes framed by light oak, but finishing with firm tannins. Ready now.

Bright, ripe and rich currant, black cherry and spice flavors that are focused and concentrated. Finishes with a burst of sweet fruit.

Ripe and spicy with a pretty core of ripe cherry and raspberry flavor. Finishes with firm tannins and good length.

Emphatic ripeness is the central theme of this full-scaled rendition. The aromas marry black cherries and abundant oak, while peppery spice joins the same cherries and oak in the mouth.

Agreeable but never assertive, this offering displays ripe varietal fruit and oaky richness in the nose all of which progress into curranty, oak-enhanced flavors. Supple with a glyceriny texture and long finish, this somewhat lush wine is already suitable for service with richly sauced holiday entrees.

Sporting the somewhat tropical, sweet-smelling fruit often found in wines from its provenance, the inviting aromas key on apples, pears and hints of blossoms with slightly toasty oak and leesy, nutty notes providing a rich and broad backdrop. Dressed up in pretty oak, yet maintaining its straightforward stance throughout.

A perfume of blackfruit, smoke and cedar with the slightest of herbal notes. The palate is a well balanced reflection of the nose but with a minty finish.

Sweet cherries and woodspice are the twin themes of the medium-deep aromas and slightly juicy flavors of this accessible young wine, and its density and compelling range earn it high commendation. Medium-full-bodied, smooth and easy on the palate without undue intrusion from tannin, it should hold up well for another four or five years.

Always a tasty California Chard.

Best value.

Balanced and complex. Chocolate with jammy cherry and leather characteristics.

Luscious, opulent, honeyed, buttery, apple-scented and flavored wine. Gently infused with some quality oak. Full-bodied, even voluptuous, it is a super chardonnay for drinking over the next year.

Impressive. This dark ruby/purple-colored 1992 displays a forceful nose of spicy, peppery black-cherries and blackcurrants, opulently rich, full-bodied flavors, considerable extract, and a moderate tannin level. The wine is loaded with rich, concentrated fruit and is easy to drink. Drink it over the next 10-12 years.

An excellent wine. It possesses a layered feel, and gobs of honeyed tropical fruit gently fused with spicy new oak. A rich, ripe, concentrated Chardonnay.

The Merlot Grand Reserve represents the new direction of Kendall-Jackson's reds, as it is very rich, ripe fruit, medium to full body, and admirable extraction. Drink it over the next 7-8 years.

A smooth, supple, elegant Pinot, with herb, cola and spicy cherry flavors that turn silky, picking up buttery oak on the finish. Well balanced and ready to drink now through 1997.

Big spice, ripe fruit, beefy flavors; oaked, but smooth finish.

Hints of wild berry and spicy raspberry come through on the finish.

Bold, ripe, smooth and polished. The layers of plum, currant, and blueberry flavors are focused and lively right through the finish. Has the tannin and concentration for cellaring through the decade.
