Kendall-Jackson, Sonoma County (California) Merlot 2014

May 28, 2017

By Robert Whitley

Longtime K-J winemaker Randy Ullom has done wonders with the Vintner’s Reserve program, consistently crafting impressive wines despite the significant volumes. The 2014 Vintner’s Reserve Merlot is an excellent example. Well balanced and refined, it has an elegant mouthfeel, is very dry and shows nuances of red currants and plum, with a touch of wood spice and beautifully integrated tannins. A Platinum award-winner at the 2017 Critics Challenge.
