Kenwood’s Jack London Vineyard on Sonoma Mountain has long been a source for outstanding wine grapes. This Merlot from the troubled 2011 vintage is an excellent example of what to expect from any Jack London red, even in difficult years. It is well rounded and complete, with excellent balance, good depth of fruit, and complex layers of red-berry aroma. The structure is firm, which bodes well for a long life. Outstanding value.
