You’ve got to hand it to Kendall-Jackson — as big as they are, and as crowd pleasing as the wines tend to be across the board, they still do it with complexity and class, at reasonable prices for the quality provided. This Grand Reserve Pinot Noir delivers rich ripe fruit, but doesn’t leave out the earthy characteristics that you expect in an upper level bottling. Here, you get upper level quality at a lower mid level price. A blend of grapes from Monterey and Santa Barbara counties.
