Kendall Jackson Merlot, Grand Reserve

Jackson Estates grown. Sonoma 77% and Napa 23% counties. Elevated and cooler vineyards in Napa's Atlas Peak and Sonoma's Knights Valley give extra hangtime because of their mountain altitude. This intense concentration and 19 months of oak barrel aging translates to our 2003 vintage in dark fruit and chocolate nuances. Cold soak techniques add a seductive fruit tone in the nose that entices one, sip after sip. This method also adds to the supple palate and long finish - the perfect ending. Jess S. Jackson, Founder. Alc 14.5% by vol.
