Aromas of lush, bright black cherry, blackberry and cassis draw you in. Round, rich, seamless tannins provide a robust backbone and supple mid-palate. Notes of cedar, vanilla and a hint of mocha linger on the finish.
Plums, savory herbs, graphite and pencil shavings fuse together in Kendall-Jackson’s 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Vintner’s Reserve. A stunning value, the 2010 is loaded with varietal character. Layers of flavor build to the deep, intensely satisfying finish. I am not sure how Kendall-Jackson can make 132,000 cases of Cabernet Sauvignon of this level, but evidently they can. At $19 the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the very finest values in domestic wine. Sourced primarily from vineyards in Sonoma County, the 2010 includes drops of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Carmenere. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2018. ”
