Kendall-Jackson 2007 Grand Reserve Merlot (Sonoma County)

Country: US / Grand Reserve
Variety: Merlot California
Winery: Kendall-Jackson / Sonoma County

Very rich, ripe and dry, a Merlot with a drop of Cabernet that needs a year or two to resolve. It’s fat and fleshy in cherries, violets, red currants and cola, with a dusting of cocoa, pepper and cinnamon. The tannins are ample, but very finely ground. Hold until 2011.
