Kendall-Jackson, California (United States) 2012

May 20, 2014

By Robert Whitley

Merlot is the money grape in this delicious blend of Rhone Valley and Bordeaux inspired wines. And it’s lovely, rich, ripe plum that delivers the inviting nose, followed by a layered palate of black and red fruits and supple tannins. The finish is long and inviting. This is a serious crowd-pleaser at a modest price. Besides Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Carignan and Syrah complete the blend.
