This is one of the gems in the Kendall Jackson portfolio. This is a world class Cabernet. Purple in color. The nose has cassis, cedar, milk chocolate, and a bit of char. On the palate, this has a wonderful muscular texture. Firm tannins. Lots of cassis fruit. Deep and complex if still tight. Lively with great balance and precision. Long finish. This is delicious but grabs your attention. It still has some upside as it ages and probably at least seven to ten years from peak. It should easily last two more decades, plus. It should be versatile to go well with most medium and heavier foods as it by no means an over sweet fruit bomb. It would be interesting to watch it mature as in twenty years it will drink like a St. Julien, Bordeaux.
