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.

An excellent wine at an affordable price.
